Reviews and Complaints

What a bunch of bs I've been a loyal life time customer of the Ohio lottery but all the points I've put in trying to get one item is just bs I seen the same names of winners over an over on the prizes an I know what my odds are but I win a jackpot before I ever win in the drawings I've put as many points on some as possible an yet never yet have I won anything from the drawings at this point I think it's bs waste of time you'd think they would at least throw a dog a bone after a life time of me spending money an who makes these names up really time to share something! I'm loyal but never are the games!

We go to Sciota downs once or twice a week to play keno (Ohio lottery keno) and the 3 kiosks that are available to customers are always broke, terminal unavailable or out of paper, I was directed to the cage to get help, they were rude and had no interest in fixing them, this has been going on for weeks, they won't even add paper, supervisor says cage is responsible, cage blames lottery and says not there main concern

I live by GETGO in Twinsburg ohio where I purchase tickets in the machine.
My complaint is they put the scratch offs in the machine starting from the end of row instead of the beginning which is not right if I buy a ticket it should start at 000, 001, 002 etc not 047 I have a better chance of winning if they put the tickets in correctly this has been going on for awhile I complained but they keep doing it.

on 10-10-2021 between 3:10pm and 3:15pm I was at the 931 East 2 nd Street, Franklin Ohio location. I used the machine to cash my winning tickets to purchase more ticket the machine was having an issue, when I hold the clerk he said there was nothing he could do it was my problem so this location and the lottery machine stole 15 dollars from me. When I handed the clerk my tickets he said they had already been cashed at his location however again I had no tickets

My wife and I regularly go to Sciota downs to play keno at the machines as well as the kiosks for the lottery keno, over the past couple months of the 3 machines (kiosk) they have they are always out of paper or terminal not available, not 1 but usually all, I complain, they say cage is responsible, I go to cage they say lottery is responsible, and very rude about it, please find out who's not doing there job, or remove them. We are looking for somewhere else to go, and we do play alot

Hello my name is Khyeisha Stallworth and I purchased 2 lottery ticket's today and I was under the impression I was a winner with matching symbol's and I was told when I went to a retailer that it was not a winner it's a shame how this game is deceiving u think u one as a typical ticket have where matching symbol's win but this ticket rules never state the match in legend just what beat a hand I feel that the game need to be looked into and I shall be paid because it's not my fault the game was not clearly explained you can contact me at [protected]) I will be contacting an attorney to seek legal advice on this matter

I went to acme at 3235 manchester rd akron oh 44319. I had a 50.00 lady luck I checked on the machine. The young short blond girl insisted it was was 10.00. This store has done this before. Two young ladies will stand up there together and bull y the customer and in sist its less than the money it states. They give the smaller amount because you have two of the same and they also are counting up other tickets that was up there already from someone else.

On 6/27/2021, at about 3 o'clock pm, I purchased a $2 scratch off at the Exon gas station at 2097 Livingston Ave Columbus, Oh, 43209.. but after scratching off the ticket's cover, in that I can insert it into the machine to find whether it was a winner, the machine didn't provide an answer, it obviously didn't register. So I then offered for the store clerk to look into this for me. He use the machine which was back there with him and out of my eye site to check my ticket then told me that it was a $2 winner. He never showed me whether this was true or gave me my ticket back. Could you please check to fine whether my winnings was only $2
Thank you very much,

Spent over $20, 000 in six months playing the Pick 4. Playing 400 a day and Can't even get a box hit. Numbers are falling correctly in the surrounding states, but not Ohio. I have tried different strategies and played almost every number and they will bring a number with low payout. Fast number don't come anymore. At all repeat numbers keep falling that no one plays. The game is RIGGED. The software is rigged and needs to be investigated. I have $ over $50,000 worth of tickets for just the past 8 months that proves the game is Rigged.

I have been playing the lottery for YEARS especially on the pick -4 games. Yours ago I could at least get one hit or a box in Matter of months, now the losing is ridiculous. The Lottery is rigged and needs to be investigated. The Indiana lottery and Kentucky lotteries are fare which mean the numbers do fall according. In the state of Ohio it's impossible to HIT the Pick/4

I feel That the lottery is fixed and is designed to screw Poor hard working folks out of money and to play on Poor people hopes and dreams Some of the Good folks like me spend their life time and last dime trying to hit Big enough to purchase a decent home in a safe neighborhood trying to get out of poverty and make life better for my 14 year old son but Scamming is your way getting rich at others expense have you no shame the lottery should be banned because it's worse than any drug known
I myself will never waste another damn dollar on your fixed games how are you supposed to play responsible with

these games when the stakes are higher in life than the stakes in the game answer that to some people like me the lottery is my only way out of a bad situation that's my complaint

Keno has to be the most rigged game in Ohio, you can go through hundreds or thousands of dollars and not win anything it's almost impossible. I don't even know how Ohio Lottery could allow this the odds are probably like 100 to 1 against the player, it's really bad I'm ashamed to watch people addicted to gambling throw their money away. Thet have definitely changed the program payout rate and need to be investigated.

Why there is never a winner for the mega million and powerball never in ohio its always alanta, virgina, carolina, its always in every state but not ohio they need to take the ohio lottery out of ohio they is just taking people money they no this isnot right shut them down they got to go they is scamming ohio people out they money I hope they get this message I will fight to the end about this scamming ohio lottery you will never win they lottery in ohio only little money on scatch off ticket only for $50 these people is crazy I hope they shut the lottery playing down in every state

If anyone in ohio will go back to nov. 11, 2006 — you have proof way back then on the "crooked" tactics of the ohio lottery! The osu buckeyes defeated the michigan football team by a score of 42 - 39. This was the exact "pick 4" number drawn (in exactly the same order) within a couple hours after the game! - now — there are "coincidences" — but this was rediculous!

5-20-17 Every time the Rolling Cash 5 is over $200K the Lottery reports that the winning numbers have been won in a predominantly Caucasian establishment! Most recently it had grown to over $600K and 3 winning Rolling Cash 5 tickets were won in ONE Caucasian establishment!
Last week the Rolling Cash 5 grew to over $200K! That jackpot was won in Newark, Ohio! Only Caucasians live there!

It is NOT fair that Caucasians win ALL the money when it is Black people that play the most money in all the Ohio Lottery Games! How can I submit for an investigation and a Class Action Lawsuit?
