The man had given up on the numbers previously, but decided to give them another chance after finding the ticket in his glove compartment.

The winning numbers, 3-2-5-5-8, earned him $25,000 for a 50-cent bet and an additional $417 for a 60-way backup.

The ticket was purchased at Mike’s Convenient Food Mart on South Taylor Road in Cleveland.
