Indiana Lottery Stops $5 Scratch-Off Game After Reported Ticket Issue
A $5 scratch-off game in Indiana has been temporarily stopped after lottery officials reported a “technical issue” with the Space Invaders Cash Invasion tickets.
The problem came after players claimed some tickets appeared to be winners, while officials said they were not valid. One Evansville viewer shared that his daughter believed she had won $100,000 from one of the tickets. However, when she returned to the store to claim the prize, she was reportedly told the ticket was a “dud.”
According to the player, the store employee said they were told to discard similar tickets. But lottery officials are advising customers to keep their tickets and submit them along with a completed protest form for review.
Key details:
- The affected game is the $5 Space Invaders Cash Invasion scratch-off.
- Players with questionable tickets are being asked to hold onto them.
- The deadline to submit tickets and forms is November 30.
- Several players have reported similar experiences online.
A Facebook group created around the issue has gained more than 120 members, with many sharing similar stories. Some players say smaller prizes have been paid, while larger prize claims are still being reviewed.
