Proof that God likes football!


COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio State's 42-39 victory over Michigan also was lucky for players of the Ohio Lottery.

Shortly after Saturday's game ended, the numbers 4-2-3-9 were drawn for the Pick 4 game.
"You know it happens," lottery spokeswoman Marie Kilbane said Sunday.

Lottery spokeswoman Mardele Cohen said 401 $1 bets were made that picked 4-2-3-9 in order and each bet won $5,000. The odds of the numbers turning up in that combination were 10,000 to 1.

She said 913 $1 bets paid $200 apiece. Those bets were placed on any combination of the numbers 4-2-3-9.

The lottery paid a total of $2.19 million in winnings. Players had wagered $347,867.50.

Cohen said since 2000, the combination of 4-2-3-9 has been drawn 13 times, but not in the order that they were picked on Saturday.

Kilbane said it's likely that most of the bets with the winning numbers were placed after the game ended, but she did not know how much money was wagered in that period. The football game finished at 7:13 p.m. and the drawing was at 7:45 p.m.
