Hoosier Lotto
Hoosier Lotto is one of the longest running and most popular lottery games in the US state of Indiana.
Entry to Hoosier Lotto costs $2.00, with draws taking place twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 23:00 local time. The cutoff for ticket sales on draw days is 22:39 local time.
To enter Hoosier Lotto, choose six numbers between 1 and 46, or go for a Quick Pick to play with randomly selected numbers.
All Hoosier Lotto tickets are printed with a multiplier to specify how many times non-jackpot prizes are multiplied if won. Prizes can be multiplied up to 10 times!
Also, the +PLUS game is available for an extra $1.00, with players entering the same numbers for the $1 million jackpot and the +PLUS draw.
Jackpot
Hoosier Lotto offers a minimum guaranteed jackpot of $1 million and has no jackpot or rollover cap.
The jackpot starts to grow if not won after three draws, increasing by a minimum of $100,000 per draw until there is a winner.
The biggest ever Hoosier Lotto jackpot was $54.5 million in November 2007.
