After state and federal taxes totaling 26.75%, he will receive a final payout of $213,164.83.
The winning numbers for the Feb. 10 drawing were one-14-20-35-37.
The man purchased the ticket at Get Go #3284, located at 1501 Travelers Pointe in Avon.
In addition to the jackpot, the ticket matched three numbers on another line, which earned an additional $10.00 prize.
He was “delirious with joy but incoherent” when he realized that two of his auto-pick “mistakes” had won, the Ohio Lottery said.
The winner intends to use the prize money to significantly change his daily life. He plans to quit his job driving for a rideshare service and will use the funds to pay off his home and other outstanding debts.
The prize will also provide support for his family’s health needs.
Rolling Cash Five drawings are held daily at approximately 7:05 p.m.
