In its relatively advanced age, Classic Lotto doesn't seem to be turning heads like it used
to.
The Ohio Lottery game hasn't generated a grand prize since Aug. 20. Sales, too, have slumped. "The game is still profitable for us, but I'll be the first to admit, it's not the most exciting game," lottery director Michael A. Dolan said yesterday. Classic Lotto's jackpot has grown from $9.7 million at the beginning of the year to $14.8 million now. Despite its name, Classic Lotto has been around for just two years. It is, however, a throwback to earlier lottery games in both its look and simplicity. Players select six numbers between one and 49. -- James Nash jnash@dispatch.com Story toolsToday’s Top Stories
