Indiana's state lottery is on the hunt for the lucky holder of a $9.9 million Hoosier Lotto ticket.

Indiana's Hoosier Lottery is thrilled to announce its search for a lucky individual who has recently won a truly life-altering prize.

This week, the lottery urged ticket holders in Bartholomew County to take another look at their tickets, especially if they purchased them at Jack's Place on 910 3rd St. in Columbus. That's because one lucky person snagged the winning ticket for the Hoosier Lotto's Saturday draw. On August 16th, the numbers 1, 21, 26, 31, 33, and 34 were picked, and incredibly, someone matched them all, claiming a staggering $9.9 million jackpot. While the identity of the lucky winner remains a mystery, we know the life-changing ticket emerged from that local store. This monumental win is the third jackpot hit for the Hoosier Lotto in Indiana this year. March was a particularly charmed month, with one player hauling in a massive $42.5 million on March 12th and another raking in $1.2 million on March 22nd. The Hoosier Lottery reminds everyone to carefully check their tickets; one fleeting moment could radically transform someone's life in an instant.
