Indiana Hoosier Lottery Games and Drawing Schedules

Powerball

Those looking for a draw game with a progressive jackpot can try their hand at the popular Powerball. The rules require that players choose five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. You can multiply your non-jackpot prize with Power Play mode or enter the second draw with Double Play mode. Each play is $2, and draws are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. EST. 

Mega Millions

Mega Millions is another multi-state game that can bag you a rolling jackpot. Here, you’ll need to pick five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball number from 1 to 25. You can play the same combination of numbers multiple times with Multi-Draw, increase your non-jackpot prize with Megaplier, or receive two additional sets of numbers for more shots at the jackpot prize with Just the Jackpot feature. Each play is $2, and the numbers are drawn every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. EST. 

Hoosier Lotto

For just $2 per play, you can participate in Indiana’s version of Lotto and win an amazing jackpot that starts at $1 million. To play, you’ll have to choose six numbers between 1 and 46. The Multi-Draw feature lets you enter up to 10 consecutive draws, while +Plus grants you a chance to win an additional million if you match the +Plus winning numbers. Draws take place every Wednesday and Saturday around 11 p.m. EST.

Cash 5

You can win a jackpot that starts at $70,000 and grows with every new draw. All you have to do is follow the simple Cash 5 rules and select five numbers between 1 and 45 for a dollar per play. The game allows players to use the same numbers in up to 28 consecutive draws or add EZmatch to get a chance to win $500 instantly. Draws occur every day at around 11 p.m. EST.

Daily 3

The IN Lottery’s Daily 3 provides you with two chances to score a prize every day. To participate, you have to select three digits between 0 and 9, a wager amount, and bet type. Six bet types are available:

• Straight — With this playstyle, you have to match the winning numbers in the exact order.
• Box — This bet type allows you to match the numbers in any order.
• 1-Off — Here, the numbers you’ve selected must be one digit higher or one digit lower than the winning numbers.
• Combo — You can match the drawn number either in the exact or any order with this play. 
• Wheel — If you opt for this playstyle, you can place a Straight bet on any combination of numbers selected.
• Front/Back Pair — As the name suggests, you must match the first two or last two digits of the drawn numbers in the exact order.

In addition, you can use the Superball mode to replace any of the digits in your number combination and get another shot at winning. However, this mode does not apply to the 1-Off bet type. Draws take place twice a day, at around 1:20 p.m. and around 11 p.m. EST. 

Daily 4

This game follows the Indiana Lottery Daily 3 rules, but with one exception: you have to choose four numbers from 0 to 9 on your playslip. The draws are broadcast at the same time, as well. 

Quick Draw

To play Quick Draw, choose the amount you’d like to wager, the drawing time, and ten numbers out of the 80 on each board. In each draw, you need to match at least five out of 20 numbers drawn. Indiana lottery Prizes vary depending on the amount wagered. 

If you add Bulls-Eye or EZmatch to your ticket, for a dollar more per play, you can win up to $200,000 more or up to $500 instantly. Each play is just a dollar, and draws occur daily, at around 1:20 p.m. or 11 p.m. EST. 

Cash4Life

A $1 Cash4Life ticket can treat you to a “lifetime” prize like no other. You can receive the prize in annuities for the rest of your life ($1,000 a day for the top prize or $1,000 a week for the secondary prize). To participate, pick six numbers from 1 to 60 and a Cash Ball number from 1 to 4. The more numbers you match, the bigger the prize. Wait for the draw every day at around 9 p.m. EST.
