Instant lotto winner
LISBON -- Scratching her way to a $20,000 instant lotto win, Toby Kupka of Lisbon will receive $14,300 after taxes in Ohio Lottery's instant Monopoly game.
Ohio Lottery officials said Kupka bought the ticket at Stewart's IGA in Lisbon.
Kupka is the second $20,000 winner of 12 possible in the $2 instant game, which began July 18. The $20,000 scratch is the game's top prize.
Kupka told lottery officials she scratched the train symbol because she was supposed to go on a train trip to Massachusetts. In the instant Monopoly game the ticket holder wins the prize shown below the symbol.
She said she was having such a bad day when she scratched the ticket, she thought it was a misprint.

Fence warning heeded
HERMITAGE, Pa. -- Dean Alexander's wish that a fence be placed between his property and the Pierce Bluffs housing development on Lamor Road has been granted.

He said the city should insist that a fence be built along the property line.
Alexander came back to the commissioners this week saying that the Pierce Bluffs developer, Mill Creek Enterprises of Canfield, has agreed to erect a 675-foot fence along that line.
