An Ohio man who won a $1 million lottery prize had previously won $5,000 and several smaller prizes of $100. Justin Apathy, from Olmsted Township, claimed the top prize in the Ohio Lottery's VIP Millions scratch-off game. According to the Ohio Lottery, Apathy purchased the winning ticket at Shaker’s MarketPlace, located at 27091 Bagley Road in Olmsted Township.
The game offers four $1 million top prizes. Winners can choose to receive $40,000 annually for 25 years or take a one-time lump-sum payment of $500,000. Apathy opted for the lump-sum payment of $500,000. He reportedly plans to use the money to “set up his future by investing.”
