If you’ve bought a scratch ticket that didn’t win, you could still pick up a prize by entering a Second Chance game. Learn all about how the Ohio Lottery’s Second Chance drawings work.
To enter a Second Chance drawing in the Buckeye State, you need to have a MyLotto Rewards account. It’s free and easy to sign up – you just have to provide a few contact details.
There are always a few promotions running. Select one to get more details and find out the entry period. You’ll also see which scratch offs you are allowed to enter.
Submitting a non-winning ticket is easy. It may involve entering a number or code printed on your scratch off, but increasingly it requires you to use the Ohio Lottery app. Remove the latex from the front of the ticket and scan the barcode beneath.
Depending on the specific promotion you sign up for, you may receive one entry per scratch ticket, or it might be a case that you need to spend a certain amount to get an entry.
A number of drawings may take place over the course of the promotion, giving away a set number of prizes. You will be notified automatically if you win a prize.
You might be able to win a cash prize worth hundreds, thousands or even millions of dollars. Alternatively, you could possibly get a luxury experience such as a trip for two with deluxe hotel accommodation.
The Wheel of Fortune promotion, for example, offers a three-night stay in Los Angeles, featuring a tour of Sony Studios, bus tour of Hollywood, tickets to a taping of the Wheel of Fortune TV show, and a chance to win up to $1 million.
