The three lucky winners took home nearly $220,000 in winnings, according to an announcement from the Ohio State Lottery Commission on Saturday.

One lucky man claimed a $199,000 prize on a ticket purchased at Wing Warehouse Sports Bar in Akron.

After taxes, his earnings amount to $143,280.

In Wadsworth, another man celebrated winning $10,000 on an Ohio Lottery 50th anniversary scratch-off.

The winning ticket was purchased at the Grizzly Quick Mart in Wadsworth.

He will receive approximately $7,200 after taxes.

Stark County also saw a winner.

A county man won $10,000 playing the Lady Luck 25X scratch card.

His ticket was sold at the 6th Street Market in Massillon.

Although the state saw three big winners, no one hit Friday’s $306 million Mega Millions jackpot.

But Ohio Lottery officials reported that thousands of other players across the state won smaller prizes.

Here are details on the prizes and winning numbers, according to the Ohio Lottery website.

• $1,500 Prize: 7 winners
• $600 Prize: 15 winners
• $500 Prize: 8 winners
• $200 Prize: 26 winners
• $30 Prize: 452 winners
• $12 Prize: 1,983 winners
• $10 Prize: 1,144 winners
• $6 Prize: 4,801 winners
• $4 Prize: 4,371 winners
• $2 Prize: 10,585 winners

These recent wins highlight the excitement and possibilities that the Ohio Lottery brings to its players, proving that luck can strike anywhere, at any time.

In fact, just a month ago, another Ohio woman in Sandusky won $15 million on a $50 scratch-off.

His winning ticket was $600,000 a year, for life for 25 years.

However, she opted for a much smaller fixed award of $7.5 million.

After state and federal taxes totaling 28%, the lucky winner took home just $5.4 million, leaving nearly $10 million on the table.

Jeanne said she plans to use her newfound wealth to pay off her best friend’s mortgage since she has lived with her for the past two years.

She also plans to buy a house in Florida and retire there.
