Indiana offers an impressive variety of lottery games, ranging from Powerball and Mega Millions national lottery offerings, as well as state-specific offerings like Hoosier Lotto and Ca$h Five, to scratch-off games with improved odds and faster play options that provide smaller prizes with improved odds of success. Residents are invited to support their community while having an opportunity at winning big with Indiana Lottery games!

The Powerball lottery game boasts one of the greatest wins in US history. Its record jackpot totaled an incredible $1.5 billion in 2016, which was distributed among three ticket holders from Florida, Tennessee and California. While this jackpot may seem impressive at first glance, keep in mind that winning a lottery doesn’t just involve money alone – the hefty taxes required post-winning should also be taken into consideration.

While most Indiana players opt for quick picks, you have the freedom to select your own numbers as well. When doing so, be mindful not to select too closely together a group of odd or even numbers; such instances happen rarely – less than one percent of time!

Purchase of combination tickets can provide more realistic chances of winning substantial prizes, especially with multi-state games like Cash4Life that was introduced in 2016 that offer high chances of hitting jackpots.

Though lottery tickets cannot currently be purchased online, an official Hoosier Lottery app could help speed up your ticket purchasing process. With it you can create an advanced digital pay slip and locate retailers near your location; plus enter losing tickets into second chance drawings; scan tickets for any winnings!

If you prefer scratch-off games, your local lottery outlet offers a wide range of themes and prizes that offer unique gameplay and innovative themes. In addition to traditional scratch-offs, add-on games may provide additional chances to win small prizes.

Indiana offers additional lottery products beyond regular lottery games, such as Power Play and EZ Match. These add-on games work similarly to their standard counterparts but feature special combinations of numbers for increased chances to win prizes – often featuring themes or storylines and even video clips! Available across all lottery outlets at $2 per game purchase price, some proceeds from these products go toward local projects such as police/firefighter pension funds or schooling schemes.
