AKRON, OH — A lucky customer at Tasty Carry Out is celebrating after winning a $72,004 jackpot playing the Ohio Lottery’s $5 progressive EZPLAY® game, Going Pro.
The ticket was purchased at the store located at 22 West Long Street in Akron. After federal and state tax withholdings, the winner will take home approximately $50,402.
Going Pro is one of the Ohio Lottery’s popular progressive EZPLAY® games, where the jackpot increases with every ticket sold until someone wins. This latest win resets the progressive prize, which will begin building again for the next player.
The Ohio Lottery noted that games like Going Pro help generate funds for education across the state. Since its inception in 1974, the Lottery has contributed more than $33 billion to support education in Ohio.
