Ohio Man Wins $2M Scratch-Off, Double-Checks with a Magnifying Glass
Ohio Man Snags $2 Million Scratch-Off Win After Double-Checking with a Magnifying Glass!
A southeast Ohio man is living every lottery player’s dream after a $30 Royal Riches Scratch-Off ticket turned into a whopping $2 million win.
The lucky player, identified only as J. from Ironton, said he’s scored smaller prizes before — but nothing close to this life-changing haul. Unsure at first, he even grabbed a magnifying glass and sent a photo to a family member “to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.”
J. decided to take the cash option, walking away with $728,750 after taxes. Now, he’s planning to spread the good fortune — sharing some of his winnings with family and his church, and treating himself to a brand-new car.
The winning ticket was sold at Lucky Choice on W. Nationwide Blvd. in Columbus, proving once again that a little luck — and maybe a magnifying glass — can go a long way.
