How to Play Ohio Pick 3?

1. In order to play this Pick 3 lottery game, you must find a licensed retailer in Ohio and nowhere else. In the case that it is not a possibility, you can still enjoy other games online on the lottery websites that we recommend here.

3. After marking the numbers that you want, confirm the play type that is next to the number selection on each game panel. If you want some guidance, check out our Prizes & Odds table.
4. You are almost there. Define if you want to play in one of the daily drawings or both, and then proceed to the payment.
5. Once you collect your tickets, keep them safe. The tickets are your proof necessary to claim the prize after you check the Ohio Pick 3 results on this page.
