Lucky birthday pick explodes into triple lottery win in Ohio

Mom’s birthday numbers deliver $150K jackpot sweep for Toledo woman Toledo, OH — A set of numbers tied to a family birthday turned into a triple payday after a Toledo woman hit the same Pick 5 combination on three separate tickets in a single drawing.

Each ticket paid $50,000, bringing the total winnings to $150,000. After required state and federal taxes, the payout comes to $109,875.

Pick 5 drawings are held daily, with odds of 1 in 100,000 to match all five numbers. The winner said she plans to pay off bills and save a portion of the money while considering how to use the rest.
