LOGAN — Though the holiday season hasn’t officially begun, one Logan man is already celebrating after winning big on a Christmas-themed scratch-off ticket.

According to a press release from the Ohio Lottery, the man won $1 million playing the “Merry Money” scratch-off, which he purchased at Tee Jay’s Drive Thru & Deli in Logan.
