UPDATE: Hoosier Lottery will pay out all winning tickets after Fast Play errorReply
ever since the indiana hoosier lottery admitted the mistake on the fast play and said they would pay up, the scratch tickets have been worthless in paying out anything,they have to make up for the mistake somewhere, and you sure can see it with these scratch tickets and small winnings if any , especially if you live in indianapolis, most of the winnings are in small towns in indiana, there has been lottery corruption here before, so buyer beware.
