Len's Unofficial
 Ohio Lottery Information

 


I have accumulated volumes of statistics about all of the Ohio Lottery Games since 1979.
I update some information on a weekly basis and some information on a monthly basis.
Because this information is UNOFFICIAL it may not be 100.000% correct, but IT IS interesting.

Most recent monthly update was Aug 03, 2008. 
Most recent  weekly update was Aug 23, 2008. 

HELP STAMP OUT UNSOLICITED CREDIT CARD APPLICATIONS and other nuisance junk mail!
When you receive any nuisance junk mail that includes a pre-paid return envelope, seal the empty envelope and send it back.
That way the recipient will have to pay the postage on it.
Maybe if they get enough empty envelopes, they will quit sending the junk mail.
 

You can obtain information on every Ohio Lottery drawing in .pdf format from the Ohio Lottery's web site.  http://www.ohiolottery.com/numbers/


This site also includes information on older Ohio Lottery games that are no longer active.

If you add up all twenty numbers for a Ten-OH drawing, the sum will be somewhere between 210 and 1410.  Here is a listing of the sums and how many times that sum happened. (This is a lot of data and the page arrangement is a little mixed up.)

Ten-OH Graph

I have no idea what this information is good for, but I have complied statistics about each TEN-OH number  position.  This report shows the highest and lowest number for each position ( 1 thru 20) as well as the range (highest number minus lowest number).
Ten-OH HI and LOW information <--- click here
However, if you plot the Hi Low data on a graph the mid point of the range of numbers for each position is an almost perfect straight line.
Ten-OH HI and LOW graph <--- click here

The biggest gap between two numbers was 28 and it occurred on Oct 31, 2007 when the Ten-OH numbers were 1-4-6-13-14-16-23-51-53-60-62-63-67-70-72-73-74-75-77-78 .
