In spite of a local news stand, a couple of gas stations and a drive thur that sold lottery tickets going under, long lines to buy lottery tickets are a thing of the past. The only times I've ever seen long lines were when I would drive out of state years ago to buy PowerBall and BigGame tickets. Now that they can be bought locally, no long lines even when thunder storms knock out a couple of the local terminals.

Except for PowerBall I've alway bought my lottery tickets within a half hour of... [ More ]

With the chance of long lines or a machine being down (have had both happen), I buy mine way early sometimes even multi-draw.

As I was getting ready to mark my Saturday tickets as losers and put them with the rest of my losing tickets before making out new play slips for tonight's drawing, I noticed they were for tonight's drawing of July 04. I had bought them at 7:03 PM July 02 but there was a note on them that said the Classic Lotto pools now close @7PM. So tickets that would have only matched 1 several times will have another chance to win something tonight. Fearing that had happened before, I rechecked all my recen... [ More ]

Now that PB and MM jackpots are reset to $20.0M and $12.0M, Ohio's Classic Lotto is looking good again. With odds of 1:14M of winning the jackpot to boot, it should attract a lot of players while MM and PB are building up their jackpots again.

A couple of weeks ago when this same situation existed it was only at $33.5M but it only rolls $200K-$300K after each drawings so I don't expect it will grow much more before some one wins it.
