This week, we thought we’d share some love of our
Pick 5 game with fans. We congratulate Bobby Lipkins of Toledo, who recently claimed a $25,000 top prize in Pick 5’s evening drawing held May 18. He purchased a ticket with 10 wagers for $0.50 each. One of those wagers matched all five numbers drawn straight (in exact order), for the popular Pick 5 game.
The winning numbers were: 8-2-9-5-6
He purchased his winning ticket at Central Market, located at 330 West Central Avenue in Toledo.
That’s just the start of this exciting month for Pick 5 players. Twenty-nine top prizes in Pick 5 were sold in May, with winner Steven Schultz of Columbus holding 10 of those winning tickets. Each ticket included a wager with the numbers: 6-6-3-6-8. He purchased these wagers so they would win “straight” (in exact order) or “box” (in any order).
That’s a $26,250 win for each ticket.
