When Neil Armstrong looked up at Ohio from the moon’s surface in 1969, he couldn’t have known that, five years later, folks from his home state would be over the moon about the lottery. The Ohio State Lottery was approved in 1973 and sold its first game ticket in August 1974. The main beneficiary of lottery proceeds is the state’s education system. 


In 2010 and 2002, respectively, the Ohio Lottery Powerball and Mega Millions were introduced. The state has had its share of jackpot and second-tier winners in these crowd favorites. Other games with loyal followings include the Ohio Lottery Lucky for Life, Classic Lotto, Rolling Cash 5, Pick 5, Pick 4, and Pick 3.   


The Ohio State Lottery has many instant win games, including a multitude of scratch card options ranging in price from $1 to $30. With them, you can win anything between $5,000 to $10 million. Ohio Lottery terminals generate these EZPlay games.
