Ohio man wins $1 million scratch-off, then $25,000 the same week

An Ohio man ended up with two major lottery wins in the same week, according to UPI Odd News.

The Toledo resident told Ohio Lottery officials he bought a $50 Millionaire Blowout scratch-off at Mike's Corner Store on Key Street in Toledo and uncovered a prize worth $40,000 a year for 25 years, or $1 million total.

He chose the lump-sum option instead of the annuity, receiving $500,000 before taxes and $366,250 after taxes.

Feeling lucky after the first win, he bought another ticket later that week and landed a $25,000 prize, which came to $18,312.50 after taxes. He said the money will help extend an upcoming vacation, buy a new vehicle, share with his children and add to his savings.
