RJOh: You have a point. Actually, Ohio 6/49 players should seriously consider gradually switching to Mega Millions because of the fairer cash value percentage and the much better chance of winning SOMETHING. As for the Ohio 6/49 game itself, I think it should be changed to an ALL-CASH game with 48 numbers and a $3 prize for 3 numbers (no more bonus ball).

I assume you think the winner of the OhioSuperLotoPlus should take the annunity, but I personally think for the older winners, the cash option may be better. It should be noted that while the payout is better for the MagaMillion (1:43) to SuperLotoPlus (1:451), the odds of winning the SuperLotoPlus jackpot is almost 10 times better. Ohioians have many choices when choosing to play the lottery and a responsible player will know all his options before buying a ticket. RJOh

Although tonight's Ohio 6/49 jackpot is higher than the current Mega Millions pot ($11m v $10m), the CASH VALUE is lower than in MM ($4.8 million v $5.3 million). Again, this is because of the Ohio Lottery's bias against those who want their Ohio 6/49 prize in lump sum.
