Good morning, Pike County. There's a $50,000 reason to check your lottery tickets this morning! A fortunate Waverly shopper struck gold with a winning scratch-off from Par-Mar on Route 23, taking home about $36,000 after taxes. With 15 more second-tier prizes still up for grabs, maybe it's worth trying your luck on the "$500,000 Bankroll" game—unless, of course, you're one of the three truck drivers who might need that cash for recent citations.
Meanwhile, Chillicothe police had their hands full with a dozen incidents on September 27 ranging from the bizarre to the concerning. Officers responded to everything from a blood-covered man at Speedway to public urination complaints and multiple theft reports. The day's activity log reads like a small-town crime novel, complete with missing persons, domestic disturbances, and traffic violations—proving once again that even in Pike County, there's never truly a quiet day.
