Football player scores big with the lottery

Mike Eynon is an offensive lineman for the Ohio University Bobcats (in Athens, Ohio). His first score this season took place at a local convenience store recently.

Eynon bought a lottery ticket, and ended up matching 5 numbers - winning him a nice $250,000. Of course, after taxes, his actual check will be for about $172,000.

He is a senior at the university, and said he plans to put the money toward his schooling. He is only an occasional lottery player.
