Among the various state run lotteries that are popular is the Ohio Lottery Pick 5. This lottery is conducted by the Ohio Lottery Commission. The popular games organized by it are: Ten-OH!, Mega Millions, Classic Lotto, Pick 3, Pick 4, Rolling Cash 5, Keno, scratch tickets, and the Power Ball. The slogan that the lottery gave itself encourages people to take a chance on education and promises that the person is bound to have fun as well. It was 1973 when the Ohio Lottery Pick 5 got the approval of the voters of the state of Ohio and the operations began in the year 1974 with the first game being conducted in August that year. The first online version called the Pick 3 began in 1973. The present director of the lottery is Kathleen Burke. The lottery boasts of having some big names among its previous directors such as Tom Hayes and Mike Dolan. By August 16, 1999, the daily draws of the first game of the Lottery Pick 3 was increased and began to be held two times in a day considering the popularity, and by 2007 special drawings that were held on Sundays were included as well. This not only increased the popularity of the game but also attracted a lot more business to the system.
The Pick 4 was added to the list of games on the April 9, 1981. Initially it was planned to be held once in a week, but as its popularity soared, as many as thirteen draws came to be held in the span of one week. Later, on April 30, 1988, a special game, "The Kicker" was introduced in addition to the tickets of Super Lotto; later this came to be replaced by SuperLotto Plus in 2000. This add-on game also remained temporarily until 2005 when the SuperLotto Plus was drawn for the last time. It was then that the Kicker was introduced as an add-on with the game called Mega Millions and it still continues to be so. It is another numbers game wherein six numbers from 0-9 are drawn and if these numbers are found to be matching in order, the prize awarded is that of a hundred thousand dollars. Later on games like Keno, Ten Oh, Rolling Cash, Classic Lotto, etc. were introduced, almost all in the in the new millennium.
Most of these games were either drawn daily or twice daily, this helped in bringing in more business. In the same line of events came the Ohio Lottery Pick 5. Just like any other Pick 5 Lottery, it is very popular and has the similar processes of drawing and declaring. One needs to keep track of the numbers and their patterns if they want to win the jackpot. More often than not, these Ohio Lottery Pick 5 drawings have a pattern of the number declared in the drawings and a person can make the best use of it provided one has the time, intellect, and most importantly a bit of common sense. This is because if observed with dedication one will immediately realize that the number drawn in the previous 30-60 drawings have some sort of repetitive patterns; these may not be easily identifiable but careful thinking will definitely bring in the desired results.
