James Gray of Campbell, Ohio won the top $291,000 prize in the Dec. 28 Rolling Cash 5 game.
The Mahoning County resident matched all five numbers for his win. He filed a claim in the Youngstown regional office Thursday afternoon.
After taxes totaling 28.5 percent, Gray will receive a check for $208,065.
Rather than choosing his own numbers, Gray let the lottery machine select Quick Pick numbers.
The winning numbers were 2-14-19-21-34. He bought the winning ticket from Smoker Friendly Cigar Express, 3814 Belmont Ave., Liberty.
Smoker Friendly Cigar gets $500 for selling the winning ticket.
Rolling Cash 5 is a daily jackpot game that starts at $100,000. If the jackpot is not hit, it increases.
The $291,000 prize was the result of the jackpot's rolling for eight straight draws beginning with a $100,000 jackpot Dec. 20.

Nice jackpot. NY's Take Five better step up
The NY Lottery is so corrupt they might annuitize Take Five if it were changed to a jackpot game.
He'd be a millionaire if he played PA Cash 5 after 8 straight rolls.
