A Clermont County, Ohio, resident identified as Courtney S. has claimed an $800,020 Ohio Keno prize through Lotto.com, the online lottery platform announced. The win, claimed after an August 2026 drawing, represents the largest Keno prize awarded through the platform since the game was introduced to the platform earlier this year. The prize also ranks among the largest lottery Keno wins ever recorded in the United States.
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. She discovered the 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 Ohio Keno 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.”
