$100,000 Top Prize won on 20x The Money

CLEVELAND Cole Barker of Springfield is not new to winning Ohio Lottery games. He’s already listed in the Ohio Lottery’s winner data base 88 times. March 15th marked Barker’s 89th win. He won $100,000 in the top prize drawing on the 20 X The Money instant game.

Barker says whenever he plays he always expects to win. Maybe he’s sending out good vibes, and it’s working for him. Although he bought his qualifying TPD entry in March 2015, he forgot all about it. When he got the call that he was the top prizewinner of the game, he said it was a pleasant surprise.

After mandatory federal and state taxes totaling 29 percent, Barker receives $71,000.  All his adult life he’s rode a Harley and he’s going to buy himself another one. The rest of the windfall goes towards his son’s college tuition.

Thirty TPD tickets were eligible for the $100,000 prize. Barker purchased his qualifier from   Bev and Troy’s Corner Market, 3780 Lawrenceville Drive in Springfield.  Bev and Troy’s Corner Market receives a $1,000 agent bonus for selling the winning semi-finalist entry ticket.
