Business Impact

For more than 30 years, Hoosier Lottery funds have supported local police and firefighters’ pensions, the Teachers’ Retirement Fund, and the Lottery Surplus Fund. The Indiana General Assembly has established an annual disbursement of $30 million to local police and firefighters’ pensions, $30 million to the Indiana Teachers’ Retirement Fund, and the balance of surplus revenues to the Lottery Surplus Fund.

In Fiscal Year 2021 (FY2021), fueled by a big year of Scratch-off sales, the Hoosier Lottery transferred a record-breaking $375.5 million to the State of Indiana. Scratch-off sales of more than $1.3 billion accounted for the majority of the Hoosier Lottery’s $1.737 billion in total sales. The $375.5 million transferred to the state marked a 23.3% increase over the previous year. Additional information can be found in a separate Hoosier Lottery annual report on financial performance.

The Hoosier Lottery is committed to the use of minority business enterprises and women’s business enterprises through outreach, networking, and employee engagement. In FY2021, the Hoosier Lottery spent approximately $1.3 million with Minority and Women Business Enterprises. In addition, the Hoosier Lottery supports a variety of Indiana businesses, and we spent approximately $10 million in FY 2021.
