Overview
Classic Lotto is Ohio’s flagship 6/49 jackpot game. Pick six numbers from 1–49 for $1 per play. Matching all six wins a rolling jackpot; match 5, 4, or 3 for set cash prizes. Draws are Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 7:05 p.m. ET. Optional Kicker ($1) adds a six-digit number for separate prizes on the same nights.
How to play — step by step
1. Select 6 numbers
Choose 6 numbers from 1 to 49, or mark Quick Pick and let the terminal choose.
2. Add Kicker (optional)
For $1 more on Classic Lotto nights, Kicker prints a six-digit number (0–9 each). Match digits from the right on the Kicker drawing for prizes up to $100,000.
3. Choose how many drawings
Pay $1 per play (add-ons cost extra). Tell the retailer how many consecutive drawings you want, or mark Advance Play on the slip.
