Hoosier Lotto was launched in September 1994 to the delight of lottery fans across the state. The jackpot starts at $1 million and will increase in value until it's won. Rollovers continue until someone matches all six numbers drawn and wins the top prize! You can also add the Plus option for more ways to win.
Hoosier Lotto drawings take place every Wednesday and Saturday night at 11:00 PM ET. The cut-off time to pick up tickets on draw nights is 10:39 PM; sales restart following the draw.
Hoosier Lotto has a simple prize structure. Match two or more numbers to win a prize – this amount will be increased by the value of the multiplier on your ticket unless you win the jackpot. It is the same in Hoosier Lotto Plus – all non-jackpot prizes can be increased.
The Hoosier Lotto Plus jackpot is $1 million per winner, but if there are more than two winners the payout will be reduced and everyone who matches all the numbers will share the maximum prize fund of $2 million.
