CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Ohio Lottery's two multi-state games both have jackpots at their starting points this weekend, while its two largest in-state games have growing jackpots up for grabs.

A lottery player in New York matched Tuesday's winning Mega Millions numbers of 2, 23, 32, 45 and 55 with the Mega Ball of 12 to win a $59 million jackpot, so the top prize for tonight's drawing is at its starting point of $15 million. Tonight's drawing will be at 11 p.m., with ticket sales stopping 15 minutes prior to the drawing.

A New Jersey lottery player correctly picked Wednesday's winning Powerball numbers of 7, 19, 23, 50 and 54 with the Power Ball of 14 and won the $40 million jackpot. As a result, the Powerball jackpot remains at its starting point of $40 million for Saturday's drawing, which will be held at 10:59 p.m.

Saturday's Classic Lotto drawing will have a jackpot of $2.2 million since no one matched Wednesday's winning numbers of 4, 9, 14, 31, 34 and 49. There have been 12 drawings held since a player won a $3.5 million jackpot Feb. 25. Saturday's drawing is at 7:05 p.m., with ticket sales stopping five minutes prior to the drawing.

Tonight's Rolling Cash 5 jackpot has soared to $255,000 after no one matched Thursday's winning numbers of 10, 16, 25, 28 and 34. Six straight drawings have been held without a winner and in that time, lottery players have won two Powerball jackpots and one Mega Millions jackpot. Tonight's drawing is at 7:05 p.m.

Thursday's winning Ohio Lottery numbers were:

Pick 3: Midday, 874; evening, 663

Pick 4: Midday, 5220; evening, 9445

Pick 5: Midday, 10721; evening, 69094

The Rolling Cash 5 jackpot for the next drawing is $199,000 for hitting all five numbers and the odds of winning are 1 in 575,757.

Drawings for Pick 3, Pick 4 and Pick 5 are twice daily, at 12:29 p.m. and 7:29 p.m. The drawing for the Rolling Cash 5 is each night at 7:05 p.m.
