Indiana lottery glitch sparks six-figure hopes, then reveals $20 prize

Hoosier Lottery paused sales of the new $5 Space Invaders Cash Invasion scratch-off after a technical issue caused players to believe they’d won large prizes. One man thought he’d won $100,000 (the prize was actually $20) and another believed he won $2,500; both cases prompted headlines and complaints. Officials halted sales, urged affected players to submit protest forms, and said the game would relaunch on June 16 as reviews continue.

Red-light scratch-off nets Maryland man $100,000 prize

A Maryland man, while stopped at a traffic light outside a 7-Eleven, bought a $10 scratch-off (50X the Cash) and scratched it in his car. A 10X multiplier turned a $10,000 prize into $100,000, verified by the Maryland Lottery. He plans to use the money for household expenses and a family vacation, and kept the win private from others. The piece also notes a separate large New Jersey lottery win by Michael Weirsky, illustrating how fortunes can change quickly.
