hoosier lottery

The Hoosier Lottery nearly added online games a few years ago before legislators halted that effort.

Indiana would fully legalize online gambling — and online lottery — under legislation approved by a House committee Tuesday. The state’s casinos are split on whether to support the online gaming expansion.

The fair generates millions of dollars for the state fair commission and other state agencies.

That money goes to help teacher, police and firefighter pensions as well as reduce how much you pay for your license plates at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

The State Lottery Commission of Indiana formalized a resolution Tuesday to pay $9.1 million for a downtown Indianapolis building in which it currently operates.

Payout in social media scam declined; audits come back clean.

The $1 million winning ticket was purchased at the Circle S at 4200 W. State Road 46 in Bloomington.

The lottery was well into plans to offer games online in early 2022. But after plans became public, some lawmakers raised concerns.

The lottery budget projects lower revenues in the upcoming fiscal year than what the lottery earned each of the last three years.

A third quarter surge means that the Hoosier Lottery is now expected to send the state more than $360 million.
