The top prize for the $10 scratch-off game is $500,000.

The Ohio Lottery says the winner, Jodi Smallwood, bought her ticket at Cenco on Center Road in Brunswick.

It's a location Jodi says she would have never visited if she hadn't met her boyfriend, who lives nearby.

Jodi received $360,000 after a mandatory 28% state and federal tax was deducted from the total.

She plans to share her winnings with her family, take a vacation around Christmas and create savings accounts for her grandchildren to use in the future.

Jodi also bought her boyfriend a new car with her winnings.

"Giving is what I like to do, it makes me feel good to see people smile," Jodi said.

As of Tuesday, three top prizes remain for the scratch-off game, according to the Ohio Lottery.
