ROOTSTOWN, Ohio — For the second time in less than a week, somebody in Northeast Ohio hit a $500,000 prize in the Lucky For Life lottery.
The most recent winner – who won the big prize money from the Saturday night drawing on Sept. 10 – purchased their winning ticket from a Giant Eagle store in Rootstown. Ohio Lottery officials say it was an auto-pick ticket.
The lucky numbers in the drawing were: 20, 23, 29, 30, 34 with Lucky Ball 15. The winner matched five numbers – only missing the top prize by failing to match the Lucky Ball.

Ohio Lottery officials say the odds of winning the top prize – which is $1,000 a day for life – are one in 30,821,472. The overall odds of winning any prize are one in eight.
