A $50,000 prize was won on a “$5,000,000 Fortune” Scratchers ticket only one day after the game was released.
“I like getting the new tickets. It seems like I have more luck with them,” the winner explained.
She purchased the winning ticket at Walmart, 1712 E. Ohio St., in Clinton.
“It was under number ‘19’ – just one $50,000 prize,” she recalled. “I was so shocked I thought I was going to have a heart attack!”
