Someone bought a $1 lottery ticket at a Steubenville store and is now more than $24.5 million richer. The ticket was for Wednesday night’s Ohio Classic Lotto drawing. No one has claimed the winning ticket yet.

The $24.6 million winning ticket was purchased at the Kwik King off of University Boulevard in Steubenville. There was only one winner.

“It was exciting news this morning. We didn’t know it happened until we got a call from the office,” said Kwik King Manager Shannon Ezelle.

Ezelle then read an e-mail from the Ohio Lottery Commission congratulating the store for selling the winning ticket.

“It’s cool somebody won locally. Maybe it’ll help the economy. Maybe they’ll buy everyone in town free gas,” said Steubenville resident Don Springer.


Survey: What would you do if you won $24.6 million?

To win the Classic Lotto you have to pick all six matching numbers. Wednesday night's winning numbers were: 13,14, 20, 25, 27 and 31.

Amber Bebe has sold many lottery tickets while working at Kwik King and she tells all customers the same thing. “I tell them every ticket is the winning ticket,” said Bebe.
