CLEVELAND -- Ohio State's 42-39 victory over Michigan also

was lucky for players of the Ohio Lottery.

Minutes after Saturday's game was over, 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.

Cohen said 913 $1 bets were placed on any combination of the

winning numbers and paid $200 apiece.

The lottery paid a total of $2.19 million in winnings. Players

had wagered $347,867.50.

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.
