The Ohio Lottery Commission yesterday announced a new game for Ohio Lottery players that provides a little lotto twist. Rolling Cash 5, a new 5-of-39 game set to replace Buckeye 5, goes on sale Sunday, Oct. 3.
Rolling Cash 5s first drawing will be held Monday, Oct. 4. Buckeye 5s final drawing takes place Saturday, Oct. 2.
Top prize odds for Rolling Cash 5 are 1 in 575,757; overall odds are 1 in 9.
Rolling Cash 5 offers a rolling jackpot prize that starts at $100,000. If the jackpot is not hit, initially, the jackpot will increase by $10,000 or more, based on sales. As a jackpot prize, the top prize will be split, unlike Buckeye 5, which provided a $100,000 top prize for up to 10 winning tickets, before being capped at $1 million.
In addition to the rolling jackpot feature, Rolling Cash 5 raises the payout for matching 4-of-5 numbers to $300. The new game manages payout costs by adding two additional numbers to the game matrix.
The Ohio Lottery projects Rolling Cash 5 sales of $67.6 million during its first full year of sales.
well maybe I'll start playing this one....I like games that I can catch from the beginning!
higher jackpot..higher odds..should of kept it at 5/37..the higher jackpots would bring increase of sales..they just wanted to make it harder in my op!

This is weird. Michigan just released its Fantasy 5 game like two weeks ago. It's a 5/39 game that the jackpot starts at $100,000. It increases by at least $5,000 but has increased as much as $100,000 in a single drawing so far. Michigan has lower prizes though. Match four is $100, three is $10, and match 2 is $1. Much better game then what Michigan Rolldown was doing before this game came along.

i wouldn't play it at the starting level. i want to see how big it can roll over to. i do hope they use new ball machines. i don't like the one they use for buckeye 5. looks too easy to fix.
The largest jackpot in Michigan was pretty high. The advertised jackpot for the night was $175,000. When the numbers came out 3 people took home $98,000 which is close to $300,000 so that was a huge jump in the jackpot.
Over 2700 drawings recorded in over 10 years all for nothing. I will start a new file October 4 named Rolling5 and close the one named Buckeye5. Over time new games come and old games have to go.

anybody planning on playing the first drawing. i don't plan on playing until the jackpot rolls over a few times.
Highest so far $110,000.
