The winning ticket for the Hoosier Lotto's record jackpot of more than 54 million dollars was sold at a Mobil gas station in East Chicago.

It was the only ticket sold for yesterday's game that matched all six numbers drawn. Lottery spokesman Andrew Reed says no winner has come forward so far.

The winning numbers were 8, 15, 16, 17, 35 and 39.

The winner will have a choice between an annuity that pays out the full amount over 30 years or a one-time payment of more than 40 million dollars before federal and state taxes.

This is the first Hoosier Lotto jackpot hit since October 21st, 2006. The amount then was five million dollars.

Thirty-one tickets matched five of the six numbers drawn yesterday and are worth $1,070 each.

To Judy, Do you drive a car? Your license plates are cut in half because of proceeds from the Lottery! There are other projects around the state funded by Lottery proceeds, ex: the Goshen dam was greatly improved by using these funds. That is why I am against the selling off (privatization) of the Lottery... too much of the good by-product of the Lottery will be lost to the greedy private administrators who will want to recover their up-front costs.

What???? It took a year for the jackpot to get to 54 million? What has the state done with all the money spent every week on the lottery? I am sure it's more than 54 million dollars.
