What time are the Ohio lottery drawings?
Powerball is drawn
Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 PM ET, and Mega Millions
Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 PM ET. Those times are the same everywhere the games are sold. Ohio's own games draw on local time: daily numbers games often draw twice a day, midday and evening, while lotto-style games usually draw at night. Each game's page on Lottery Atlas shows its exact draw days and time, and our guide to
what time lottery drawings happen covers every game.

How old do you have to be to play the lottery in Ohio?
You must be at least 18 years old to buy a lottery ticket in Ohio, and retailers may ask for ID.
Can I remain anonymous if I win the lottery in Ohio?
Only through a trust. Ohio treats a claimant's name and address as public records, but when a prize is claimed through a trust, the beneficial owners' names stay confidential unless they agree in writing to a release.
How much tax will I pay on lottery winnings in Ohio?
Ohio withholds 2.75% in state income tax (the 2026 rate) from prizes large enough to be reported to the IRS. The federal government withholds 24% from prizes over $5,000. Withholding is only a prepayment: what you owe depends on your total income for the year, and most of a jackpot-sized prize is taxed at the top federal rate of 37%, so expect to owe more when you file. A tax professional can help you plan before you claim a large prize.
How long do I have to claim a lottery prize in Ohio?
You have 180 days from the draw date to claim a draw-game prize in Ohio, including Powerball and Mega Millions. Scratch-off tickets usually have their own deadline, often counted from the end of the game, so check the back of the ticket. Unclaimed prizes are forfeited. If you win a jackpot, ask the lottery how and when you choose between the cash option and the annuity, because the rules differ from state to state.
Where do Ohio Lottery profits go?
Ohio Lottery profits go mainly to the Lottery Profits Education Fund for K-12, vocational and special education. Prizes, retailer commissions and operating costs are paid first.
