AUSTINTOWN, Ohio - A Canfield resident is $277,000 richer thanks to an attack of the munchies.
Not having played his numbers at his regular stop on Valentine's Day, Henry Gilliam decided to purchase a Rolling Cash Five ticket at Collas Market in Austintown because he thought he just might win.
"I was just getting something to eat and I wasn't at my regular lottery stop. I decided to get my tickets here," he said.
Turns out, it was a "sweet" decision. Henry Gilliam won $391,000, which after a 29% deduction for federal and state taxes, he walks away with $277,610.
Gillam has no big plans for the money other than to pay off some bills and pay off his wife's car.
Collas Market receives a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
