SPACE INVADERS™ #2624 Resolution (updated August 18, 2026)
If the protest form has previously been completed and mailed to the Hoosier Lottery’s Headquarters, you do not have any further action items at this time. The Hoosier Lottery has thoroughly reviewed all submissions and has started mailing a Denial of Prize Claim Letter to players who have completed the protest form clarifying next steps. If you have received a prize payment for #2624 or received your returned non-winning Scratch-off in the mail, you will not receive a letter as your claim process is deemed complete.
The Hoosier Lottery remains committed to paying all valid tickets and to operating in accordance with Indiana law and our administrative rules.
The $5 Space Invaders Scratch-off, #2666, remains on sale and is not applicable to this claim process.
