If you’ve been holding onto your tickets and waiting for that lucky moment, the Ohio Lottery has released the winning numbers for Thursday, August 28, 2025—and here’s everything you need to know. From quick daily draws to big jackpot dreams, Ohio players had plenty of chances to score.
🎉 Where You Can Play
Before diving into the results, let’s clear up how and where you can actually snag those tickets. Most people grab them the old-fashioned way—at gas stations, convenience stores, or the grocery store checkout line. Some airports even carry them for travelers hoping to test their luck on the go.
But if you’re more into digital convenience, there’s also the Jackpocket app, the official digital courier for the USA TODAY Network. With it, you can pick numbers, place orders, view your tickets, and even claim winnings—all straight from your phone or laptop. It’s available not only in Ohio but also across several states and territories including New York, Colorado, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Massachusetts, and more.
