The lottery player who purchased the ticket gets the prize, of course.
But the lottery retailer who sold the winning ticket also is paid a bonus of 1% of the prize value, up to $100,000, directly by the Hoosier Lottery.
Itâs one of the tools the Hoosier Lottery uses to attract and retain lottery ticket retailers in cities and towns across Indiana.
And it recently paid off big for the small Hammond grocery store that sold a winning CA$H 5 draw game ticket worth $1.08 million.
On Feb. 3, the Hoosier Lottery presented the three owners of RA Foods, 1201 Chicago Ave., a check for $10,840 for selling the CA$H 5 ticket that won the gameâs top prize.
