  Let's hope Ohio will soon be allowed to join a multi-state lottery-and that Pennsylvania will be on its heels.

  Hello Pat,
  It has not been decided yet. Some church groups are speaking out against the lottery and the politicians will have to make some hard decisions. Hopefully what ever they decide, will make Ohio competive with neighboring states.

  RJOh: You also could make a good argument that Ohio should try keno (here in NY, we have BOTH kinds, "Quick Draw" and "Pick 10") and seriously consider video lottery (NY is supposed to have it at several horse/harness tracks.) VLTs and keno (at least the five-minute variety) are more controversial than most other lottery games. Maybe the Ohio Lottery should make a deal with the anti-gambling forces, to not lobby for keno or VLTs if it's allowed to sell multi-state tickets.

  Ohio might have accidentally came up with a new lottery game that I like. In their Buckeye5 game yesterday, one of the number balls might have been left out of the machine so that number is being added to the winning numbers (09-31-32-33-34+28). That makes my $1 ticket worth $10. I like that better than the Powerball.
