CLYDE, OH — Two Clyde residents are celebrating after winning and splitting the $75,000 top prize from the Ohio Lottery’s Queen of Hearts scratch-off game.

The winning $5 ticket was sold at Barney’s Country Carryout, located at 2932 County Road 185 in Clyde. After 28 percent in mandatory federal and state tax withholdings, each winner will take home $27,000.

Queen of Hearts is one of the Ohio Lottery’s themed instant games offering a $75,000 top prize. As of May 21, four top prizes remain unclaimed in the game.

The prize marks another big win for players in Sandusky County and adds to the growing list of high-tier scratch-off winners across Ohio this month.

Since its inception in 1974, the Ohio Lottery has contributed more than $33 billion to public education in the state.
