Ohio lottery changing game



CLEVELAND (AP) -- The Ohio Lottery is replacing its million-dollar game with a new, simpler version that is cheaper to play and will be drawn more often but has tougher odds, the lottery commission said Tuesday.
Classic Lotto, a traditional game in which players choose six numbers from one to 49, will be drawn for the first time Jan. 22 at 7:29 p.m., the commission said in a news release.
The Classic Lotto jackpot will start at 1 million and is guaranteed to increase by at least 100,000 if no one hits all six numbers, said Mardele Cohen, lottery spokeswoman.
It will be drawn Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. The Lot 'O Play game will be retired, with its last drawing Jan. 20.
