Ohio Man Rescues Winning Lottery Ticket From the Trash and Claims $100,000 Prize

Talk about a lucky save.

An Ohio man nearly tossed away a life-changing lottery win after accidentally throwing out a Bingo 25 Times scratch-off ticket worth $100,000. Once he realized what had happened, he went on a mission to recover it—and it paid off.

🚨 The lucky twist: The ticket had already been taken out with the trash, forcing the winner to dig through a dumpster in search of it. Fortunately, he found the ticket and successfully claimed his prize.

After taxes, the Willard resident took home $73,250.

Meanwhile, another incredible lottery story unfolded in South Carolina. A man found a misplaced lottery ticket worth $500 on the floor of a gas station in Myrtle Beach and made sure it was returned to its owner.

A Good Deed That Paid Off

• He left his contact information with the store manager.
• The ticket owner later came looking for it.
• The ticket was safely returned.

The man believed his honesty would bring him good fortune.

"I just knew I was going to hit the lottery after that," he said.

His prediction came true. Just two months later, he won an impressive $586,000 Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot.

The winner said he plans to use the money to help others and hopes his experience inspires people to do the right thing.
