A woman in Ohio is celebrating after winning big on a scratch-off that she was debating on buying.

“When your intuition tells you to buy a lottery ticket, buy the ticket,” the news release on Ohio Lottery website says, and luckily, for a Chardon woman, she listened.

“She said something kept telling her to buy a lottery ticket on October 22, so she decided to listen. She purchased a $300,000,000 Extreme Cash scratch-off and couldn’t believe it when she won $50,000.”

The lady said that her win “came at the absolute right time.”

And now she’s planning on spoiling her cats and, of course, paying bills.

After taxes, her win nets her $36,437.50.

Chardon is about a 30-mile drive northeast from Cleveland.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
