Good morning, Scioto County. The Fighting Tigers lived up to their name Friday night in what can only be described as a football clinic against Fairland. Ironton's special teams turned the gridiron into their personal playground, scoring three touchdowns through spectacular plays while holding the Dragons to a mere 3 rushing yards in their commanding 70-13 victory. The win pushes their record to an impressive 7-1 as they prepare to take their high-octane offense on the road to Gallia Academy next week.
Meanwhile, one lucky Ironton resident is celebrating a different kind of score after a $10 scratch-off ticket transformed into a life-changing $300,000 windfall. After taxes, the Mystery Multiplier game will put $218,625 in the winner's pocket, with their identity remaining private thanks to Ohio's blind trust option for lottery winners. For those feeling lucky, eight more top prizes remain up for grabs in the game that's already changed one local's fortune.
