An Ohio man who forgot his $50 winning lottery ticket at home decided to buy another of the same scratch-off game and scored a $500,000 prize.
The Roseville man told Ohio Lottery officials he went to the South 60 Market in Zanesville intending to cash in his $50 winning Best of 7’s scratch-off, but he arrived and realized he had forgotten the ticket at home.
He decided to go into the store anyway and bought another ticket from the same game and scratched it off in his car.
The ticket turned out to be a $500,000 winner.
The player said his winnings will go toward paying off his house, buying a new car and cutting back his workdays so he can spend more time with his family.
