EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio - An East Liverpool man is hoping for an early retirement after winning an Ohio Lottery game.

On May 22, David Poole matched all five numbers and no lucky ball on the Lucky for Life game, to win $25,000 a year for life.

Poole picked the numbers and chose the cash option.

After mandatory federal and state taxes totaling 29 percent, Poole receives a lump sum of $276,900.

Poole told lottery officials that he’s been playing the same set of numbers since the game began in November 2015.

He says he’s giving his daughter and granddaughter some money and saving the rest for retirement.

Poole said he will continue playing, hoping that lightning will strike twice.

The winning ticket was purchased at Four Seasons Mini Mart in East Liverpool.

The Mini Mart receives a $2,500 bonus for selling a winning 2nd tier Lucky for Life ticket.
