The winning numbers for Ohio Rolling Cash5 04/12/06 were 11 16 17 18 19, any combination can win anytime.

Any algorithm that resides in the store's terminal is there to make it impossible for anyone to predict which combination will be picked next and give every QP players an equal chance as the winning combination. When you pick your own numbers even randomly, you have the option of choosing not to play or repeat any numbers or combinations which could make a difference to an individual p... [ More ]
