As we ring in the new year, it’s a great time to reset and remind ourselves what Hoosier Lottery play is all about: fun, entertainment, and a little excitement along the way. Lottery games are meant to be enjoyed, not relied on, and keeping play positive helps ensure it stays enjoyable all year long. 

Tips to help keep play fun: 

• Play for entertainment - Lottery games should be fun and exciting, like going to a movie or treating yourself to a small indulgence. Enjoy the experience and remember the excitement comes from playing with the chance to win.
• Join an office pool – Hoosier Lotto, Powerball and Mega Millions pools can be a lot of fun with coworkers or friends. Ensure everyone agrees on contributions and understands how any winnings would be shared.
• Be mindful of time – Take a moment to reflect on how much time you spend playing the Lottery. If Lottery play stops feeling fun or starts to feel stressful, consider taking a break and enjoy other hobbies.
