NELSONVILLE, Ohio — One lucky lottery player has become a multimillionaire thanks to her winning ticket from Ohio Lottery’s Billion scratch-off game. Congratulations are extended to Barbara from Nelsonville who claimed the top prize of $1 Million annually over 20 years when she scratched off her silver and gray layer ticket purchased at Par Mar Store #168 in The Plains. Until February 14th there are three top prizes remaining including Barbara’s prize of over 20 years’ income! The Billion game offers three top prizes left with three top prizes still remaining such as Barbara’s.
Ohio Lottery has been around for more than 50 years and all proceeds generated benefit local schools. Alongside traditional draw games, Ohio Lottery also offers scratch-offs, keno, and progressive jackpot games – as well as nationally syndicated TV show Cash Explosion and multi-state lottery games like Powerball and Mega Millions.
Ohio Lottery also belongs to the Multi-State Lottery Association and participates in Mega Millions and Powerball multi-state lotteries, offering some of the biggest jackpots available anywhere. Players must pick five numbers from 69 pools of numbers as well as one Powerball number between 1 and 26 to win these jackpots.
Ohio Lottery players can purchase tickets either through its official mobile app or participating retailers, offering various helpful features, such as the ePaySlip. With this tool, players select their numbers and receive an individual barcode which can then be scanned at retail locations to purchase lottery tickets. In addition, legal third-party services can legally buy Ohio Lottery tickets on behalf of players and store them until draw day; one such service was Jackpocket which pioneered this system to enable people to play Ohio Lottery without going directly into retailers
