Retired truck driver wins $50K on Money Maker scratch-off in Ravenna

Ravenna, OH — A retired truck driver from Ravenna is cruising into retirement with an extra $50,000 after hitting it big on a $30 Money Maker scratch-off ticket, continuing a family streak of lottery luck.

The winner, identified only as Ed, bought the winning ticket at Get Go #3327 located at 1363 East Main Street. After required state and federal tax withholdings totaling 27.125%, he will take home $36,437.50.

Ed said both of his parents previously scored large lottery prizes, making this win part of what he calls a family tradition. He plans to use his prize to pay off bills and enjoy more of his retirement.

Playing scratch-offs is one of Ed’s favorite hobbies, and he shared his dream of one day appearing on the Ohio Lottery’s Cash Explosion game show.

The $30 Money Maker ticket guarantees a minimum prize of $40, with top prizes reaching $2 million. As of October 22, four top prizes remain unclaimed.
