Ohio Lottery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ohio Lottery is run by the state of Ohio. Its games include Pick 3 and Pick 4 numbers games, Rolling Cash 5, Classic Lotto, the multi-state Mega Millions, and numerous instant tickets.

In 1973 State Issue 1, the creation of the Ohio Lottery Commission, was approved by voters. The Lottery's first game went on sale in August 1974.

Sunday drawings were added on May 20, 2007, making it the most recent state to draw winning numbers seven days a week. Rolling Cash 5 is now daily, while Pick 3 and Pick 4 are each drawn 14 times weekly.

Ohio added a twice-daily game on August 5, 2007, called Ten-OH!, which is a Keno-like game; unlike existing Ohio games, the drawings are computerized.[1] In addition, the Cash Explosion Double Play lottery game show returned in October 2007, replacing Make Me Famous, Make Me Rich.
