Well I have to say that I am very new here and just lurking around the posts when I spotted this thread. Initially I said to myself this is just silly. It has to be a small county or some such so I did a little quick checking..... out of what I counted as 92 counties in your state, Porter is either the 7th or 8th largest in population...with Marion being #1 with about 7 times your pop. still it seems almost mathmatically impossible for only 2 winners in that long of a time frame. I can see your... [ More ]

Mike, I played nines for a year and others for a long time--they hit after you no longer play them, or they hit on the other draw. Its definantly down to a science here. By the way, those Pic 4 payouts above are ridiculously low compared to anywhere else. Wouldnt you agree

We realize that all states reserve the right to limit number selection, we understand why they do it and, just so there's no further miscommunication, let me state in the simplest terms I know how, we have no problem with the practice provided it's used properly.There's a big, BIG difference between real published, mandated liability limits as set forth by other state lotteries and those which are perceived as real because somebody said they have them.Indiana has no liability limits. All we have... [ More ]

All states reserve the right to limit number selections...works like this (they do it in PA also)there can be so many bets on a particular number before the payout exceeds the income for the state... they know this number and will stop sales before that number is reached. try playing 777 in PA after 5pm... good luck!others that sell out are dates of significance9-1-1 on september 11th1-2-2-5 at christmasmost trips on pick3 and quads on pick4 have the occasional sellout, one retailer used to keep...

No problem powerplayer...I just wanted to make sure everyone knew where I was coming from. to further illustrate my point I will tell you a funny story...Yesterday I was out and about and I ran into a young guy who comes into my store and buys lottery tickets. We both had the day off. I proceed to tell him that we have a local winner. Before I can finish anything he gets this sad look on his face, shakes his head and says:Doooohoooohoooohooood!

I just don't understand people, I guess I never will. One would think that if something so upsetting as playing the lottery gives so much displeasure to so many on a particular game, Why Play It ! I mean if it pisses you off so much and the great many others in your state, why play the rigged game (as you all seem to think)? Seems to me the whole lot of you are glutens for punishment! Now if all of you are so dissatisfied with the game would just stop playing it, maybe the lottery would get the... [ More ]

Whoa Powerplayer! Relax! I actually think it's funny too! That's why I made my post. Consider the irony of it all. I write the Hoosier Lottery. I tell them I think the game is rigged. I tell them I am going to stop playing all their games (which I did except for Powerball). I include my name and address. Then for only the second time in 12 or 13 years someone from my home county...indeed my home town...buys his tickets right down the street from me...at a place where I often buy my tick... [ More ]

ok I'm going to say this once and once only STOP PLAYING THE FREAKEN INDIANA LOTTERY AND MOVE!!! I have been hitting on the Indiana lottery for over 2 weeks playing off and on. I did it in a thread I started a weeks ago. Other people hit.I think the people loseing need to get a new system/numbers.Comparing to other states is not equal all the time. CT is unfair in my mind.INDIANA COULD HAVE 1 BILLION PEOPLE FOR ALL I CARE...It all depends on how many play each and every day.WELL I THINK POWERBAL... [ More ]

You suppose people are wising up to this payout crap!!!! Our cause is to get a ball drawn lottery; we will succeed! We want honesty and integrity in our Lottery with no chance for deception! Go to balls, we will not quit until balls are drawn! Why wont we quit? Here's why:Never give in. Never give in-never, never, never, never, in anything, great or small, large or petty. Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never surrender to force; never yield to the apparently overwhe... [ More ]

Jim, could you believe that I have spent over 100 thou on pic 4 and scratch offs and cant win! This is an outrage! Try the scratch offs sometime. Spend 500 or 1000 and you might get back what you paid for 1 ticket!I use to go to Georgia and cash in scratch offs for an hour or two at a time. I am glad to know that people are putting 2 and 2 together and seeing that it is impossible for the Hoosier Lottery to never have any winners----see for yourself! All people on Lottery Post, compare the Hoosi... [ More ]

Actually I need to correct something I sad...it should be 4 of the last 5 winners are from Northwest Indiana. I forgot there was another winner in there. Where was he from you ask? Where else...Indianapolis/Marion County.Jim

What's amusing to me is the reaction of the people I've been talking to today. Everybody I've spoken to is p*ssed off about this! Every one I've talked to today is saying stuff like:Yeah right! It rolls over for 5 months before some one wins it then it gets hit twice in a row.or:Finally some one from around here hits the damn thing and it's a minimum jackpot.And a few people have commented on the $400,000 cash prize. Everyone is outraged. Under the old rules it was guranteed to be a minimum... [ More ]

These coincidences are a continual thing. How about that--advertised for a million and the cash opt is 400 thou? This is BS! Maybe I should send Todd a few hundred pic 4 tickets off by 1 number, or maybe tickets played forever and then hit right after you stop playing them! Then you all can see the coincidences. I've said it before, there is something geographic about it. Also, did you know the Hoosier Lottery has the right to limit the selection of certain numbers---its on the website. HMMM, wo... [ More ]

Boy does this ever hurt!According to the Hoosier Lottery website the Hoosier Lottery has been won for the second consecutive time. After rolling over for more than 5 months it has been hit consecutively. First a family from Logansport won the $25.5 million jackpot. Then in the very next drawing someone won a $1 million jackpot.That someone (listed by name on the Hoosier Lottery website) is from my hometown in Northwest Indiana and purchased his ticket at a convenience store just down the road...
