A record-breaking $800,020 Ohio Keno prize has been won through Lotto.com, the nation's first online lottery platform to digitally deliver draw games and scratch tickets. The win, claimed by Courtney S. of Clermont County, Ohio, marks the largest Keno prize since the game was introduced to the platform earlier this year. It also stands as one of the largest lottery Keno wins ever in the United States. The significance of this win extends beyond the individual fortune; it demonstrates the growing popularity and potential of online lottery courier services to generate incremental profits for state-run programs, particularly education.
Courtney, a nurse by profession, used Lotto.com's Quick Pick feature to generate her numbers before replacing two of them with her lucky numbers, 14 and 26. That decision led to the historic win following an August 2026 Ohio Keno drawing. She discovered her win before the start of her work shift and spent nearly an hour in disbelief before sharing the news with her mother. Her husband later had difficulty believing the win until he saw the winning ticket himself. Originally a Lotto.com customer for Powerball and Mega Millions, Courtney later discovered Keno after noticing it was available through the platform. The $800,020 prize is now her largest win to date. She plans to use her winnings to become debt-free and then purchase a convertible.
"Stories like Courtney's highlight what makes the lottery experience so engaging," said Thomas Metzger, CEO of Lotto.com. "Whether customers come to Lotto.com for Powerball and Mega Millions, order scratch tickets, or discover games like Keno for the first time, our goal is to make it easy and convenient to explore new ways to play. We're proud to connect new players to these games and generate incremental profits for education in the Buckeye State."
Ohio Keno is a draw-style game that gives players multiple opportunities to win throughout the day. Available through Lotto.com in Ohio, the game offers players a convenient way to participate in lottery offerings. The Ohio Lottery has generated over $35 billion since 1974 to help fund K-12 education and benefits students, teachers, and schools across the state. In addition to Ohio, Keno is available through Lotto.com and the Lotto.com app in Massachusetts, Oregon, and Puerto Rico. Customers 18 years of age and older in these jurisdictions can conveniently order Keno tickets and manage their lottery play from their mobile devices or computers.
This win underscores the broader implications of online lottery platforms. As Lotto.com continues to expand—currently operating in 12 jurisdictions including Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, and Puerto Rico—it is helping lotteries across the country contribute incremental funds to state-run programs across education, parks, emergency responders, veterans' health, and other important services. The company, headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, is the only Better Business Bureau Accredited lottery courier service and is certified by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) and the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), underscoring its commitment to security, compliance, and responsible gaming. With over 4.5 million customers and 12 millionaires created via state-run games, Lotto.com is proving that digital access can drive engagement and revenue for good causes.
