Lottery Commission spokeswoman Danielle Frizzi-Babb said the winner plans to come forward, but he will use a blind trust to protect his identity, a common strategy among lottery winners of $1 million or more.

The spokesman for the Lottery either doesn't know what a blind trust is or misspoke when they said it's a common strategy. I can't believe the majority of Ohio's jackpot winners put all their winning into a trust fund with no idea of how the assets will be invested. It is a common strat... [ More ]

That is why I hate the oregon game megabucks because it goes forever before someone wins and the prize is small. So I play mega millions and powerball only. One time oregon went almost a year before it was hit got up to $30 million then someone hit it. I do not like megabucks at all.-weshar75

Yep, absurd duration of time for a 3 draws a week game -- 18 months to win jackpot! It's negative Ohio Lottery publicity.

Somebody won again last night. That's funny, a lottery goes 17 months before it's won and then have another winner the next drawing. Probably was someone with a multi-draw ticket that missed winning the $50.4M by one drawing and have to settle for a $1M prize instead.

I find it interesting how this article talks about the Ohio winners who were identified going on to do bad things. Though perhaps the anonymous winners might have committed crimes as well and we'll never know. It's interesting though cuz it gives the idea that the good ones stayed anonymous. Heh

This is a lot of fun, he said. It was even more fun when the Lottery told me my share was $100,000 and then they called back and said no, it was $1,000. But it's $1,000 more than when I woke up today.

Dont you just love his attitude? Could it be that he was the one who hit the big one and all this is just a big ploy to keep a lid on it? hahaha It would be the smartesT thing ever. Looking everywhere else when the winner is right there infront of you. Our local game similar to that game with e... [ More ]

Jell-O shots, Wii games and Guitar Hero.

Sounds like a bar that I wouldn't be patronizing.

This winner is a young guy.

We'll know who won soon enough.

Just watch for a gold-plated trampoline in somebody's front yard in Ky.

After 17 months, Ohio Lotto jackpot finally won

Lottery Post — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 15:23:18 GMT

Winner will receive record $50.4 million prize

A Kentucky man who wishes to remain unidentified won $50.4 million playing the Classic Lotto at a Mount Adams bar, the Ohio Lottery Commission said Tuesday.

It is one of the biggest lottery winnings for the Cincinnati region and a record for the Classic Lotto game, which hasn't had a winner since May 2010, when someone took home $9.5 million.

Jackpots had been piling up in the game since then. The game is only played in Ohio.

The winner... [ More ]
