Lottery participants across Ohio had multiple chances to secure substantial cash prizes as the state lottery and multi-state associations conducted drawings for daily numbers, in-state rolling jackpots, and massive national sweepstakes on September 15, 2026. While multi-state games such as Powerball and Mega Millions frequently capture headlines with jackpots that occasionally cross into the billions of dollars, the Ohio Lottery maintains an extensive selection of daily drawings and scratch-off options that provide continuous winning opportunities for local players.
The daily numbers games produced fresh sets of winning combinations during their standard afternoon and evening sessions. In the Pick 3 game for Tuesday, September 15, the midday winning sequence was confirmed as 1-0-4, while the subsequent evening drawing generated the combination 3-9-7. These three-digit draws remain among the most widely played options in the state's daily lineup.
The four-digit counterpart, Pick 4, similarly delivered two distinct sets of numbers for players participating on Tuesday. During the midday session on September 15, the drawn numbers were 2-9-0-2. Later in the day, the evening drawing produced the winning numbers 2-8-4-4, closing out the day's Pick 4 slate.
Expanding the field to five individual digits, the Pick 5 game completed its September 15 drawings with outcomes announced for both sessions. The midday drawing yielded the sequence 2-7-4-3-4. When the evening numbers were drawn, the resulting combination was finalized as 3-1-3-0-5.
The Ohio Lottery maintains a structured timetable for all three daily numbers games. Pick 3, Pick 4, and Pick 5 drawings regularly occur twice a day at 12:29 p.m. and 7:29 p.m. The lone exception to this routine occurs on Saturday nights, when the evening drawing is incorporated directly into the statewide television broadcast of the Cash Explosion show, which airs between 7:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
Statewide draw games also yielded significant developments for ticket holders pursuing dedicated local jackpots. The Rolling Cash 5 drawing on September 15 produced the winning numbers 6, 26, 34, 36, and 37. With no grand prize winner emerging, the top prize has advanced to an estimated $202,000 for the subsequent drawing.
Rolling Cash 5 is a daily game, with numbers pulled every evening at approximately 7:05 p.m. Its rolling jackpot mechanic ensures that whenever the grand prize is not claimed, the total continues to climb, creating a steadily increasing prize pool for daily participants.
Ohio's flagship in-state lotto, Classic Lotto, along with its associated Kicker feature, held its most recent drawing on Monday, September 14. The main six-digit sequence selected was 17, 29, 39, 43, 44, and 48, with the companion Kicker number drawn as 385654. The top jackpot for Classic Lotto now stands at $3 million.
Drawings for Classic Lotto and the Kicker add-on are held three times weekly on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings at roughly 7:05 p.m. The game serves as one of the state's premier recurring multi-million-dollar jackpot options, running alongside the daily schedule.
Beyond daily live drawings, the Ohio Lottery provides players with numerous instant-win opportunities through scratch-off tickets. To assist ticket buyers in making informed choices, the lottery agency provides an online tracking database where players can view remaining top prizes and overall prize availability for each specific scratch-off title across the entire retail network.
The Millionaire for Life game also held its regular drawing on the night of September 15. The winning numbers selected were 5, 6, 14, 36, and 38, accompanied by the Millionaire Ball number 3.
