Hoosier Lottery

The Hoosier Lottery began selling lottery tickets on October 13, 1989, after a majority of Indiana citizens voted "yes"​ on a 1988 voter referendum. Since then, we've offered hundreds of different fun and exciting games to our players, awarded prizes to millions of players and given billions of dollars to the State of Indiana. Even though our games may come and go, our goal has remained the same: to raise money for the State of Indiana and its residents. Our Mission: The mission of the Hoosier Lottery is to return maximum net income to the state in a socially responsible manner. Core values are the basic elements an organization endeavors to exhibit on a daily basis. By embracing our core values, we're better able to live up to our mission. Our Core Values: Have a passion for excellence Be customer and consumer centric Operate with the highest level of integrity Foster creativity, teamwork and collaboration Commit to the growth and development of our team Where Does The Money Go? Everybody Wins: We're dreaming of a stronger, safer, smarter Indiana. Every year since 1989, Hoosier Lottery funds have supported the pension funds for retired Indiana firefighters, police and teachers. Thanks in part to Lottery players, Hoosiers pay about 50 percent less in vehicle excise taxes every year.
