Next month (5/20) the Ohio Lottery will join most of its neighbors in holding Sunday drawings. In addition, Ohio will, in August, start a twice-daily Pick 10 game. Played like keno, Ohio P-10 will be played much like NY's nightly Pick-10 (NY also has Quick Draw every four minutes during its play times.) Players will choose 10 of 80 numbers (unlike true keno you can play only 10-spot) and Ohio will draw 20. Winning tickets will have at least five matches, or NONE.

Hello guys,
It seems that Ohio forgot to publish this info about Sunday games and pick 10
in a convenient place for viewing. The commission has always been sneaky when doing something pertaining to taking our monies and then conveniently burying the facts somewhere. I can see having Sunday plays but the pick 10? Appears that Ohio is trying to recoop what they lost in recent years. Many Ohio resident players including myself are thoroughly upset with this lottery commission do to too many obvious screwups in our various games and we plain are leery of anything new that they may comeup with. This commission admits to nothing out of the ordinary and acts like they are always right and we the players have..."STUPID"... written on our foreheads!
They are run the way some of our other American govermental agencys are. Got news for those birds...we have more intelligent players than they have in common sense and playing ability.

I don't agree with everything Ohio does either, although my one pet peeve about the Ohio Lottery is that the Classic Lotto cash value is fixed at 50% of the annuity, when it should be a floating percentage like in Mega Millions. OH Classic Lotto cash value winners will not receive the true cash value of the advertised annuity.
The MA and NY lottery commissions are the most corrupt, since there are numerous annuity-only scratches between the two states, and of course MA Megabucks still does not have a cash option. But Ohio does hold public hearings on proposed lottery changes AFAIK.
As for (NY) Pick 10, it's NY's least popular online game. I guess Ohio wasn't about to legalize a "Quick Draw" version.

Michigan for years has had a keno (10/22/80) game, but only recently have they begun such a game drawn every few minutes. MI's original keno game, in addition to drawing 22 numbers, has a quirk for matching zero numbers; you get a $1 instant ticket instead of a free keno play. I don't know of another US lottery that has tried to "cross-promote" their games this way, but, what happens if such a keno ticket has been validated, and the agent discovers there are no more $1 instant tickets for sale in that store? Or, what if Michigan discontinues selling $1 scratch tickets, which is inevitable due to inflation?
