Genie Bath buys Cash Spectacular ticket on whim
Published on Wednesday, Oct 03, 2007
Beacon Journal staff report
An Alliance woman scratched her way to the top prize of $1 million in the Ohio Lottery's $200 Million Cash Spectacular.
Genie Bath filed her claim with the winning ticket at the Akron-Canton regional office in Green. Bath chose to take the lump-sum payment and will receive $345,000 after state and federal taxes.
''I'm ecstatic. I still can't believe it. This is so unbelievable,'' Bath said.
Bath said she plays the lottery occasionally and on a whim decided to stop in a Circle K store on Union Street in Alliance to buy a ticket. ''It's a store I don't usually go into to, but this day I did,'' Bath said.
After buying her ticket, she went to her car and proceeded to scratch at its surface to see what she had won.
''I sat there in the parking lot for a while and kept going back and forth looking at the numbers,'' recalled Bath.
She said she doesn't remember the drive back to her home.
When she entered the house, she said, she asked her daughter to look at the ticket. ''When she started screaming, I knew it was real,'' Bath said.
Bath, who is married to the acting police chief of Waynesburg, Bill Bath, said she will use her winnings to pay off her home mortgage and some bills and to help her family.
''Plus I'm going to invest some of the money. I don't want it to go away,'' said Bath.
The Circle K store where Bath bought her ticket will receive $10,000 for selling it.
