Indianapolis, Indiana – One Hoosier may be starting the weekend with a very different kind of to-do list after a CA$H 5 ticket sold in Indianapolis hit a jackpot worth more than $1.5 million.
The Hoosier Lottery said one ticket matched all five numbers in the Tuesday, June 16, CA$H 5 drawing, making it worth $1,571,745. The winning numbers were 5-19-34-35-36.
The lucky ticket was purchased at Hoosier to Go – Lynhurst Petroleum, located at 5220 W. Troy Ave. in Indianapolis. That means someone who stopped at the west-side business now holds a ticket that could change far more than a single week.
Lottery officials are urging CA$H 5 players to check their tickets carefully. A small slip of paper, easy to fold into a pocket, toss into a purse, or leave inside a car, is now tied to a seven-figure prize. Players can check tickets through the free Hoosier Lottery Mobile App or by reviewing the winning numbers posted by the lottery.
The next steps matter. The Hoosier Lottery said the ticket holder should keep the ticket in a safe place, consider speaking with a financial advisor, and contact Hoosier Lottery customer service at 1-800-955-6886 for specific claim instructions.
For now, the winner’s name has not been provided in the information released. What is clear is that Tuesday night’s drawing turned an ordinary CA$H 5 entry into one of the biggest local lottery stories of the week.
The win also serves as a reminder for players across Indiana: check every ticket, even the ones that do not seem special at first glance. This time, the right combination was 5-19-34-35-36, and one Hoosier had it.
