Lisbon man turns $5 scratch off into $100,000 payday
LISBON, OH – A Columbiana County man who said he usually loses more than he wins is now holding a $100,000 prize after a $5 Holiday Lucky Times 10 Scratch-Off ticket delivered the game’s top payout.
The Lisbon resident purchased the seasonal scratch-off at Uni-Mart, located at 40890 state Route 154 and 11 in Lisbon.
He told Ohio Lottery officials he chose the Holiday Lucky Times 10 ticket at random because it was a seasonal game. After scratching the ticket, he uncovered a $100,000 winning prize.
