Cleveland players hit identical winning combination with one collecting an extra $5,000
CLEVELAND, OH — The same five numbers delivered two big lottery paydays in Cleveland when two women separately matched the evening drawing Saturday, scoring $50,000 apiece before one boosted her total winnings to $55,000 with an additional wager.
The winning Ohio Lottery numbers were 1-1-1-0-0.
Both players placed $1 straight wagers on the combination, with each ticket producing a $50,000 prize.
One of the players, identified by the Ohio Lottery as Teresa F., also placed a 10-way box wager. That bet added another $5,000 to her winnings, bringing her total haul to $55,000.
The other player won $50,000.
The Ohio Lottery said the odds of matching all five Pick 5 numbers are 1 in 100,000.
After mandatory state and federal tax withholdings of 26.75%, the $50,000 winner will receive $36,625, according to the Lottery.
Teresa will receive $40,287.50 from her combined $55,000 prize.
The winning tickets came from two different retailers in the Cleveland area.
