Ready your mobile device and update your Ohio Lottery mobile app. Manual Entry is being removed from MyLotto Rewards.
 
Beginning August 8, you will no longer be able to enter your non-winning tickets using manual entry. All non-winning tickets will have to be scanned through the Ohio Lottery mobile app.

The change comes to ensure security and integrity of the MyLotto Rewards program and to prevent potential fraud. 
 
Scanning tickets through the Ohio Lottery mobile app is much faster than using manual entry, but we understand some players might not have access to a mobile device. 
 
If you don’t have a smartphone or device to enter your non-winning tickets, we have devices waiting for you at our Ohio Lottery Regional Offices. You can stop in any of our regional offices during regular business hours. Just let the staff know you have non-winning tickets to enter.  They will show you how to log into your MyLotto Rewards account and help you scan your tickets to be entered.
