Ohio Man Wins Lottery with Numbers Inspired by Deceased Dog

In an astonishing turn of events, an Ohio man named Rogers Sours won a lottery jackpot valued at $50,000 by selecting an unusual set of numbers. The winning numbers for the Pick 5 drawing were 1-0-8-2-2, which held special significance for Sours.

The numbers that led to this unexpected fortune corresponded to the license plate of his late German Shepherd. Upon realizing that the numbers matched, Sours expressed his disbelief at the coincidence. He stated, “I play two sets of numbers for Pick 5, and this number, the number that hit was actually my license number for my German shepherd that I played. She’s no longer with us anymore.”

Sours’ reaction was one of shock and surprise as he watched the lottery results. He mentioned that he froze in place, unable to comprehend the win. “I just sat here. I watch the lottery when I can, when it’s on TV, and I just sat here. It was like, I froze. I just couldn’t believe that it hit,” he added.

With the prize money in hand, Sours plans to use the winnings to settle some outstanding bills and to boost his savings account. This heartwarming story serves as a reminder of the deep connections people can have with their pets, even beyond their lifetime.
