Everything about The Hoosier Lottery totally explained
The
Hoosier Lottery is run by the
state of Indiana. It is the only lottery in the
United States that uses the state's
nickname, rather than the state name itself, as its name. It is a member of the
Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). Its games include Hoosier Lotto,
Powerball, Lucky 5, and numerous scratch games. It is unlikely to add
Hot Lotto (as it has an in-state annuitized jackpot game) or any other MUSL game in the near future.
Luckiest Powerball town?
On
July 29,
1998, a group of 13 machine-shop workers from Ohio bought a Powerball ticket in
Richmond, Indiana that won the then-largest U.S. lottery jackpot ($295.7 million annuity value.) The "
baker's dozen" had chosen the cash option. Richmond produced a yet-larger Powerball prize of approximately $314 million in the
August 25,
2007 drawing. As of
August 27, the ticket hasn't been claimed.
Record in-state jackpot
The drawing on
November 7,
2007 had a jackpot of $54.5 million, the largest jackpot ever. Retired steel worker Peter Gilbert of East Chicago, Indiana chose the cash option of $40.4 million rather than the 30 annual payments
(External Link
). There were no jackpot winners since
October 21,
2006, so the grand prize broke the previous jackpot record of $42 million set
June 5,
1999.
