184 licensed Kroger locations across 101 cities in Ohio.
Kroger is one of the top 5 lottery retailer chains in Ohio, ranked #3 of 7 tracked chains — about 2% of all licensed retailers statewide.
184 Kroger locations officially licensed to sell lottery tickets in Ohio, sourced directly from the state's official open-data portal.
Every Kroger location listed above holds a valid license from the Ohio Lottery to sell tickets, meaning the store has passed the state's retailer requirements and reports its lottery sales the same way any other licensed dealer does. As a national or regional chain, Kroger locations tend to offer fairly consistent hours and a full lineup of whatever draw games and scratch-offs Ohio currently runs, though exact selection and hours vary a bit store-to-store — it's always worth a quick call if you're timing a purchase around a jackpot deadline.
None of the 184 Kroger locations in Ohio currently show a documented winning-ticket sale in LotteryMap's records. That just reflects what's been tracked so far — every Kroger store sells the same tickets, at the same odds, as any other licensed retailer in Ohio.
If a ticket from one of these locations pays off, small prizes can usually be cashed right at the register where you bought it. Larger prizes require a trip to an official Ohio Lottery claim center with the signed ticket and a government-issued photo ID — the store itself won't be able to pay out a jackpot-sized win.
