Sandusky Woman Cashes in on $500 Million Spectacular

LORAIN – Patricia Weaver of Sandusky is ready for some fun with her family after scratching a $500 Million Spectacular instant ticket for a $50,000 win.

Patricia, who says this is her first big win, primarily plays instant tickets. She said she couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw she was a winner.

“After I scratched it, I stuck it under the scanner twice; then I asked the clerk to check it too. It was a shocker!” Patricia said.

After mandatory 29 percent state and federal taxes, Weaver will receive $35,500. Patricia said she’ll probably use some of her winnings to do something fun with her children and grandchildren.

She purchased her lucky ticket at Sandusky Food Mart, 1038 Cleveland Road in Sandusky. $500,000,000 Spectacular is a $30 instant ticket with an annuitized top prize of $400,000 a year for 25 years.
