The investigation into the cybersecurity incident at the Ohio Lottery Dec. 24 is ongoing.

A Cuyahoga Falls woman won $100,000 on a lottery ticket Wednesday, the Ohio Lottery said in a news release.

Charlene Smith will receive $72,000 of that money after mandatory state and federal taxes totaling 28% are taken out.

Smith bought the winning Wheel of Fortune ticket at Acme Fresh Market at 2630 Bailey Road in Cuyahoga Falls.

The Wheel of Fortune's top prize is $100,000, and each scratch-off costs $5.

As of Wednesday, three top prizes remained in the game.
