How to Play Kicker
Overview
Kicker is Ohio’s six-digit add-on game tied to Classic Lotto drawings. For $1, the terminal prints six digits (0–9). Match the winning Kicker number from the right — all six digits wins $100,000; fewer matching digits win smaller set prizes. Kicker is only sold with Classic Lotto on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
How to play — step by step
1. Select 6 numbers
Choose 6 numbers from 0 to 9, or mark Quick Pick and let the terminal choose.
2. Sold with Classic Lotto
Mark Kicker on a Classic Lotto playslip or ask the retailer to add it. You cannot buy Kicker alone.
3. Match from the right
Prizes depend on how many digits match the drawn Kicker number starting from the rightmost digit (same style as other state “add-on” digit games).
4. 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.
