INDIANAPOLIS — The Hoosier Lottery is bringing Olympic spirit to the Indiana State Fair this summer.
"Hoosier Lottery Town" will give fairgoers age 18 and over the chance to play their favorite lottery games, including new, Olympic-inspired Team USA scratch-off and Fast Play games, the lottery announced this week.
In addition to prizes in the games, six people will win cash prizes up to $500 during the Hoosier Lottery's "Team USA 'Go For The Gold' Happy Hour" from 5-6 p.m. each day, except for the final day of the fair.
Former Olympic divers Mary Beth Feichter (Aug. 3) and David Boudia (Aug. 17) will host a meet-and-greet at Hoosier Lottery Town from 3-4:30 p.m. to kick off that day's happy hour.
The lottery will also be offering visitors who buy a $1 Hoosier Dreams scratch-off ticket a chance to spin a prize wheel or win up to $500 instantly, among other prize opportunities.
The lottery is also sponsoring the Hoosier Lottery Free Stage again this year, featuring a lineup of live music and entertainment.
This year's fair runs from Friday, Aug. 2 through Sunday, Aug. 18. It is closed on Mondays.
