I don't have a mobile device to download the Ohio Lottery Mobile App. How do I enter tickets?
Ask a family member or friend to use their device. If you do not have access to a mobile device, please visit one of our 9 Regional offices or our Downtown office to use a shared device with the Ohio Lottery Mobile Application. Here is where our offices are located: Ohio Lottery Regional Offices.
The scanner on my phone isn't recognizing the barcode. How do I enter my ticket?
The scanner is sensitive to light. Try to move the ticket into a lighter room. Also, place the ticket on a flat surface, rather than holding it in your hand, to avoid movement or shaking of the image. If the barcode is smudged, damaged or otherwise illegible, it could affect the registration of the scan. If that is the case, please visit one of our 9 Regional offices or Downtown office to use a shared device to enter your ticket(s).

How will I be notified if I win the prize?
