A stroke of luck struck occurred when a fortunate player recently walked away with a $20,248 prize after playing the Ohio Lottery Tap Game, Money Tree Jackpot. This win is another testament to the excitement and potential rewards of Ohio’s popular Tap Games, exclusively available to licensed fraternal and veteran organizations and clubs across the state.
A Lucky Night at the Moose Lodge
Located at 520 South Market Street in Galion, the Moose Lodge 303 is a familiar gathering spot for members of the community. On a regular night of fun and camaraderie, one member’s decision to play the Money Tree Jackpot led to an impressive win. The game, part of the Ohio Lottery’s Tap Games collection, proved to be a rewarding choice for the lucky winner.
Winnings After Taxes
While the total prize amounted to $20,248, like all lottery winnings, it was subject to mandatory state and federal taxes. With a combined tax rate of 28 percent, the winner will take home approximately $14,578.56. Though the tax bite is significant, the substantial sum still makes for an exciting windfall.
Supporting Education Through the Ohio Lottery
Beyond the individual excitement of winning, every Ohio Lottery ticket purchased helps contribute to the state’s educational initiatives. Since 1974, the Ohio Lottery has funneled over $32 billion into Ohio’s education system, funding schools and educational programs across the state. This ongoing contribution underscores the lottery’s role not just in entertainment but in supporting a critical public good.
