NORWALK, Ohio — One very lucky Ohio Lottery player in Norwalk has just won a top prize worth $3 million on the Wild Cash Tripler scratch-off game after buying the winning ticket from Miller’s Market at 117 Whittlesey Ave.

The winner, who was not publicly identified, elected to take the lump sum option of $1.5 million “and will receive $1,098,750.”

While he normally buys his lottery tickets at the same store in the morning on his way to work, the Ohio Lottery says the man had stopped at Miller’s Market instead to buy some Roma tomatoes.

That’s when he bought some scratch-off tickets.

After winning $20 on one of his tickets, he decided to put some that money toward another ticket — which was ultimately the grand prize winner.

“He saw $120,000 on the ticket but was confused because the back of the ticket didn’t list that as a prize,” according to the Ohio Lottery. “Then he scanned it and couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He won $120K/year for 25 years – $3 million! When he delivered the tomatoes and told his girlfriend she said, ‘Shut up!’ but then believed him because he was shaking.”

The winner said that he always thought that he would be happy to win “make life easy money” and he did just that. He plans to pay off his house, go on vacation and invest the rest.
