Bowling Alley Receives $75K For Mega Millions Sale

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio—An Ohio bowling alley has received $75,000 for selling a Mega Millions lottery ticket worth $75 million.

The ticket sold at Shawnee Lanes in Chillicothe was one of three that had all the winning numbers in Friday’s $225 million drawing. The grand prize will be shared with holders of matching tickets sold in California and Virginia.

There has been no announcement of any of the jackpot winners coming forward.

Shawnee Lanes owner Walter Highland received his check from the Ohio Lottery over the weekend.

His son, Pat Highland, says the bowling alley in southern Ohio is in its 50th anniversary year and will use some of its prize money for annual renovations done each summer. He wasn’t sure how the rest would be spent.
