Grafton, OH – Ali Mashrah, a resident of Grafton, Ohio, is now a millionaire after claiming the Classic Lotto jackpot prize of $1.6 million drawn on April 22, 2023. The winning ticket was sold by Schild’s IGA, which will receive a $1,000 sales bonus.

Mr. Mashrah picked his own numbers, 9-12-23-33-43-44, which matched the winning numbers.

The odds of winning the jackpot prize are 1 in 13.98 million.
