A fortunate Sandusky woman wins $15 million recently

A Sandusky woman told lottery officials she was speechless after winning the $15 million jackpot from a recently purchased scratch-off ticket.

Jeanne bought the winning ticket for Ohio Lottery‘s 50th Anniversary scratch-off game at the FriendShip Kitchen on Hayes Avenue in Sandusky.

“I scratched it off and none of the numbers matched because I don’t scratch all the numbers. I scratched like maybe 10 or 12 and I usually know if it’s a winner or not.

So, nothing matched, and I scanned it and it said, ‘winner, see clerk’,” Jeanne told lottery officials. But after taking the ticket to the counter, Jeanne said the store clerk nearly fell to the floor.

It turns out Jeanne had won $600,000 a year for 25 years. “We both just cried,” Jeanne told lottery officials. “There were people in line looking at me like I lost my mind.”
