- How it works
- Pick 6 numbers from 1 to 46. Match 2 to 6 of the 6 numbers drawn, in any order, to win. Every play comes with a multiplier of 1X to 10X for the prizes for 3, 4 or 5 matches.
- Jackpot
- The advertised jackpot is the total of its yearly payments. It starts at $1 million and, from the third drawing after it's won, grows by $200,000 a drawing, or more when the jackpot fund allows. Winning plays share it equally. A winner has 60 days to choose cash or 30 yearly payments that grow about 4% a year, and is paid in cash without a choice.
- Multiplier
- The terminal prints a 1X, 2X, 3X, 5X or 10X multiplier on each play when you buy it. It multiplies the prizes for matching 3, 4 or 5 numbers, in the +PLUS drawing too, but not the jackpot, the +PLUS top prize or a free ticket.
- +PLUS
- +PLUS is a separate drawing of 6 numbers from 1 to 46, held right after each Hoosier Lotto drawing. Your numbers play in it too, with the same multiplier, and one ticket can win in both drawings. +PLUS is $1 more a play and covers every play and drawing on the ticket. If plays matching all 6 in one +PLUS drawing would be owed more than $2 million, $2 million is shared among them.
