The Cincinnati woman played the Monopoly Bonus Spectacular 50X and hit the jackpot, according to the Ohio Lottery.
'I would've been happy with $10,000,' she told lottery officials.
But it was much more. The woman won $500,000 on the game that costs $10 per ticket.
'When I kept scratching, I was like 'okay, breathe, just breathe,'' she said, according to a May 30 news release from the Ohio Lottery.
The woman, who couldn't believe she won, said 'I'm very elevated,' lottery officials said.
After taxes, she'll take home $360,000.
