Lotto.com Celebrates Record $800,020 Ohio Keno Win, Signaling Expansion of Online Lottery Gaming

A Clermont County, Ohio, resident and nurse known as Courtney S. has won $800,020 playing Ohio Keno through Lotto.com, the nation’s first online lottery platform to digitally deliver draw games and scratch tickets. The prize, claimed after an August 2026 drawing, is the largest Keno win through the platform since the game was introduced to the platform earlier this year. It also ranks among the largest lottery Keno wins ever in the United States.

Courtney used the platform’s Quick Pick feature to generate numbers, then replaced two with her lucky numbers, 14 and 26. She discovered the win before her work shift and spent nearly an hour in disbelief before telling her mother. Her husband later had difficulty believing the win until he saw the winning ticket. Originally a Lotto.com customer for Powerball and Mega Millions, Courtney discovered Keno after noticing it was available through the platform. The $800,020 prize is her largest win to date, and she plans to become debt-free and purchase a convertible.

The win highlights the platform’s ability to introduce players to new games and generate incremental profits for education. “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 offering multiple chances to win throughout the day. The Ohio Lottery has generated over $35 billion since 1974 to help fund K-12 education. Beyond Ohio, Keno is available through Lotto.com and its app in Massachusetts, Oregon, and Puerto Rico.

The platform currently operates in 12 jurisdictions: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, and Puerto Rico, with expansion plans. As a lottery courier, Lotto.com helps lotteries contribute incremental funds to state programs including education, parks, emergency responders, and veterans’ health. It is the only Better Business Bureau Accredited lottery courier service and is certified by Gaming Laboratories International and the National Council on Problem Gambling.

With over 4.5 million customers and 12 millionaires created via state-run games, Lotto.com continues to expand access to official state lottery games. For more information, visit www.lotto.com.
