Gallion, Ohio Thanks to their commitment to playing their birthdays in the Pick 5 game, Randy and Tanya Metzger are celebrating an amazing moment of good fortune after winning the Ohio Lottery twice in one day.
The pair won $417 on December 3rd when their Pick 5 ticket matched the winning numbers 9-4-7-5-1 in a $1 box bet. Randy didn’t check their backup tickets until the following day since he believed that was their only victory.
Randy was shocked to see a prize of $25,208.50 when he scanned a second ticket at Speedway #3187 on W Harding Way while cashing the first prize. The winning numbers on the auto-pick ticket were identical, however they were in a different order.
The pair will get about $18,150.12 after statutory 28 percent state and federal tax withholdings. They intend to give to those in need and pay off a car with their profits.
