The Ohio Lottery has compiled a large selection of MyLotto Rewards and Second Chance promotions for players to take advantage of any time they play online lottery games at the Ohio Lottery website and Ohio Lottery retailers.
MyLotto Rewards Second Chance promotions
As the name suggests, MyLotto Rewards Second Chance promotions offer players the opportunity to win a cash prize, even if their lottery tickets were initially nonwinning.
How to participate
Initially, anyone who wishes to partake in Second Chance promotions at the Ohio Lottery will be required to create a MyLotto Rewards account.
Once that process is complete, players can navigate to the Second Chance promotions landing page, where new second chance games are cycled in and out of the promotion each month.
Ohio Lottery games that qualify for the promotion in September 2021 include the titles listed below.
8-Bit at Bat!
Watch any Reds or Indians game in September and, when the special code appears at the top and/or bottom of the eighth inning, scan the QR code with your phone. The phone will automatically launch the game, where players can play a ticket and submit the unique ticket code for a Second Chance to win if that ticket is not a winner the first time around.
