CLEVELAND (WJW) — A Cleveland man scratched off the grand prize of a $1 million annuity in the Ohio Lottery’s $1,000,000 Payout game.
Miguel Ramos Santiago bought the winning $10 ticket at Puritas Gas along Puritas Avenue, according to a Wednesday news release from the Ohio Lottery.
The game’s overall odds are 1 in 3.56. The odds of winning the top prize were 1 in 1,000,000.
