Hambden Corners sits just east of downtown Chardon, Ohio. The tiny town has just over 5,000 residents and boasts a tight community feel, although it’s a stone’s throw from Cleveland. The gas station there just boosted at least one, maybe two, customers into a higher tax bracket.
On Friday, November 7, the state’s Rolling Cash 5 jackpot had reached $182,000. It’s a daily drawing wherein players choose five numbers (manually selected or computer generated).
The pot starts at $100,000 and grows every time the results leave out any “5 for 5” winners. According to the Ohio Lottery rules, tickets are a buck apiece.
The thing is, that wasn’t the only man-picked winning ticket. Another ticket with the same numbers exists.
It’s not known whether the same individual landed both tickets or if the winners aren’t related at all.
So, it’s possible one person gets all of that $182,000 jackpot. If there’s actually two gas station customers holding the winning lottery numbers, the pot gets split. The winners have 180 days to claim their prize.
$182k sure sounds life changing, but last week, a Chicago-area player won $500,000 after buying a Lucky Day Lotto ticket. Those are also $1.
A couple of weeks ago, someone in Illinois also won the $1 million Powerball lottery. They had all the right numbers, but missed the Powerball trigger.
