Austintown market sells $391,000 Ohio Lottery ticket

Posted: Updated:

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.
