Antwerp woman wins $500K top prize on Ohio Lottery Cashword ticket
Niles, OH – A woman from Antwerp is celebrating a major windfall after scratching her way to a $500,000 top prize on the Ohio Lottery’s $10 Cashword ticket, marking one of the largest instant wins in the area this month.
The winning ticket was purchased at Antwerp Pit Stop, located at 304 W River Street. The $10 Cashword game offers several top-tier prizes, and as of Thursday, three $500,000 top prizes remain unclaimed.
After mandatory state and federal tax withholdings totaling 27.125%, the winner will receive a lump sum of $364,375. The Ohio Lottery did not release the name of the winner, which is common in cases where anonymity is preserved by state law or personal choice.
The Cashword game has been a popular option among Ohio scratch-off players, offering high payouts at a modest price point. The remaining top prizes make it one of the more valuable $10 scratch-offs currently in circulation.
Since its founding in 1974, the Ohio Lottery has contributed more than $34 billion to support public education across the state.
