DAYTON, OH — A Dayton woman got an early holiday surprise after winning $50,000 from a Holiday Cash Vault scratch-off ticket purchased at a local convenience store.

The winning $10 ticket was bought at the ampm store located at 3700 W. 3rd Street in Dayton. After the required 27.125% in state and federal taxes, the winner will receive $36,437.50 in cash.
