Good morning, Pickaway County. Lightning may never strike twice, but don't tell that to Circleville's Robert, who just hit the lottery trifecta with three winning Billion scratch-off tickets in the same town. His $16,000 windfall (or $11,520 after Uncle Sam's share) proves that sometimes good fortune comes in threes – though we're pretty sure he's not planning to test that theory a fourth time.
Speaking of impressive streaks, local scholar Trevor Wolfe is making headlines of his own at Capital University, landing a spot on the Dean's List with a stellar GPA. While he may not have scratched his way to riches, his academic achievements at this prestigious Columbus institution are certainly worth celebrating – and probably required fewer $50 tickets.
