AMERICANS are being urged to check their lottery tickets after $110,000 in winnings remain unclaimed.
Officials are searching for the unknown lucky player – but they will instantly lose $30,000 when they’re found.
The Ohio lottery says that someone hit the jackpot on its Rolling Cash 5 game.
The golden ticket was bought in Summit County on Friday, January 24.
It was purchased at the Discount Drug Mart at 3100 Glenwood Drive in Reminderville.
Although the jackpot is $110,000, the winner will lose around $30,000 of that due to tax.
The Ohio lottery said: “After federal and state tax totaling 28 percent, the winner will tax home approximately $79,200.”
Officials say that the winner chose their own numbers.
Their selections were: 6, 17, 20, 30 and 37.
The previous Ohio Rolling Cash 5 jackpot was even bigger – a whopping $130,000.
That time, the ticket was bought from a Meijer gas station in Lorain.
Here’s a breakdown of all the prizes to be won from Rolling Cash 5.
Matching all five of the winning numbers – at odds of one in 575,757 – wins the jackpot, which varies in size.
Any four of the five winning numbers – at odds of one in 3,387 – scores a $300 prize.
There is a one in 103 chance of matching three of the five winning numbers, and that gets a $10 prize.
And just $1 is earned for matching two of the winning numbers – although the odds are one in 10.
Meanwhile, lottery officials are desperately hunting for a lucky player who has won $1,000 a week for the rest of their life.
The unknown winner could otherwise be in store for a whopping $1million prize after taking a crucial decision.
The unclaimed bucks are the winnings from the Cash4Life game, which is offered across ten different states and drawn each night.
The winning ticket was sold by a Casey’s convenience store in Cole Camp, Missouri, on January 28.
The player matched all five of the white ball numbers – which were 22, 40, 45, 54 and 60.
The special Cash Ball drawn was number one.
