CLEVELAND (AP) — The Ohio Lottery says a few winning tickets were not recognized as the state switched to a new operator.
Ohio Lottery spokeswoman Marie Kilbane says Wednesday that the new system did not properly read some tickets from the system being replaced. She says the problems are being worked out.
To make the switch, online lottery games were unavailable from late Tuesday until 6 a.m. Wednesday.
The Ohio Lottery decided last year to change its operator to Athens, Greece-based Intralot S.A., the parent company of Intralot Inc., based near Atlanta, Ga.
That triggered a lawsuit from GTECH, a Providence, R.I.-based company that has been the Ohio Lottery's vendor since 1985. The suit argued that Intralot had no experience operating a large state lottery.

Ohio State University says a background check on a janitor who shot two supervisors didn't reveal a criminal record, even though Nathaniel Brown had spent five years in prison.
Unemployment in central Ohio in January was at its highest level in nearly 27 years, flirting with double digits for the first time since 1983, according to figures released by the state Wednesday.
Personnel records show the OSU janitor who shot two supervisors, killing one of them before killing himself, early yesterday morning was going to be fired on Saturday.
OSU officials say they are pleased with the response time of university police officers and their campus emergency alert system in the wake of a shooting that left two men, including the gunman, dead.
Columbus City Schools officials say the latest financial review by the state auditor indicates steps the district is taking to improve its accounting are paying dividends.
An OSU maintenance employee opened fire on co-workers this morning, killing one and injuring another before turning the gun on himself, university officials said.
