Woman predicted huge Ohio lottery win. ‘I spoke it into existence'
An Ohio woman said she predicted the huge prize she won on a lottery scratch-off ticket. The woman, originally from New Jersey, moved to Youngstown at the end of 2024 with her fiance for his job, according to a July 16 news release from the Ohio Lottery. 'I saw Ohio has a lot of winners and big top prizes,' she told lottery officials. 'I said, 'I'm going to hit big.' I spoke it into existence.' The woman said she likes to play $5 Bingo and Cashword scratch-off tickets and she checks how many prizes are left online. Right before a family trip to New Jersey, her fiance gave her five $5 tickets and she won $15, according to the lottery. She used that money to buy three more $5 tickets from a gas station in Austintown. 'Something told me to get three Cashwords,' she told lottery officials. She initially thought she won $5,000 and told herself, 'If I have nine words, I got to have 10,' the lottery said. She scanned the ticket and that's when she realized her prize was much more. 'Congratulations! You won $300,000,' the lottery app said when she scanned it. 'It was just crazy,' she said. The woman said she plans to use the winnings to go on vacation and treat her fiance. After taxes, she'll get $216,000. Austintown is about a 70-mile drive southeast from Cleveland.
