A Tennessee woman won a $500,000 Ohio Lottery prize after buying a scratch-off ticket during a gas stop in Perrysburg. She was traveling to a family reunion when she stopped at S&G Store No. 100 on Fremont Pike and played a $10 Bingo Times 50 Scratch-Off ticket.
The Ohio Lottery said a bonus number completed the winning pattern and secured the top prize. On June 22, 2026, the lottery said the ticket was purchased at 10730 Fremont Pike, and the winner kept the result secret during the reunion.
Ohio Lottery ticket at S&G Store No. 100
The winning ticket came from a routine fuel stop, not a planned lottery trip. That detail separates the purchase from the usual scratch-off run: she was already on the road to a family gathering when she bought the ticket while paying for gas.
The game was a Bingo Times 50 Scratch-Off, a $10 ticket. The prize line reached $500,000 only after the bonus number completed the winning pattern.
After taxes on June 22, 2026
The prize does not arrive at the full headline amount. State and federal taxes totaling 26.75% reduce the take-home total to $366,250, a gap of $133,750 from the announced prize.
That leaves the winner with a six-figure payout even after taxes, and she told lottery officials she plans to do something special for her family and take a trip. She did not say what either plan will be.
Perrysburg and the family reunion
She kept her winnings a secret during the reunion, according to the Ohio Lottery. For readers who buy scratch-off tickets on the road, the practical takeaway is simple: a quick stop in Perrysburg turned into a $500,000 win, but the tax bill cut the cash she will actually receive.
The next step is hers, not the lottery’s: spend the money, share the news, or save it for later. The only confirmed direction is that she wants to help her family and take a trip.
