New Bremen, OH – A $5 scratch-off ticket turned into a $75,000 windfall for a New Bremen man who scored the top prize playing the Ohio Lottery’s Queen of Hearts game this week.

The winning ticket was sold at S&G #66, located at 54 S. Main Street in Minster. The Queen of Hearts game features a double-sided design and offers overall odds of 1 in 4.20. After required federal and state tax withholdings totaling 27.125%, the winner will take home $54,656.25.

According to Ohio Lottery officials, one top prize of $75,000 and two second-tier prizes of $10,000 remain unclaimed as of November 6.

The Queen of Hearts scratch-off has been one of the more popular games in the state, thanks to its unique play style and large top prizes.

The Ohio Lottery has awarded billions in prizes to players and contributed over $34 billion to education across the state since its inception in 1974.
