Once again, the Hoosier Lottery has teamed up with the Indianapolis Colts to provide a myLOTTERY member the chance to win up to $250,000 at the last Colts home game of the season.

Avon resident Rochelle Gerulski entered the myLOTTERY Colts Game Changer Giveaway at an on-field promotion for the January 6 Colts game at Lucas Oil Stadium. She did not have to make a purchase to enter. She simply logged into her myLOTTERY account and entered with the click of a button.

“When I got the phone call that I won, I thought it had to be a scam because I usually don't win anything,” Rochelle said. “When I realized I really had won, it was crazy!”

Rochelle was the grand prize winner. Her prizes included:

  • Four tickets for the January 6, 2024, game versus the Houston Texans at Lucas Oil Stadium
  • Two Indiana Colts 2024-2025 season tickets
  • One Lucas Oil Stadium parking pass
  • A $500 Hoosier Lottery Prize Pack
  • A $250 Colts Pro Shop Gift Card

Rochelle won even bigger

During halftime of the January 6 Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans game, Rochelle was able to participate in the on-field promotion with Hoosier Lottery Executive Director Sarah M. Taylor, Colts cheerleaders, Blue, and the Hoosier Lottery mascots. She had an opportunity to win a cash prize ranging from $5,000 to $250,000. During the halftime, Rochelle won an additional prize of $7,500 by choosing two of ten cards containing prize amounts.

Rochelle is not new to the Colts. She has been a fan since the team moved to Indianapolis in 1984. She and her husband make sure to go to at least one or two games each season. Now that she has won the myLOTTERY promotion, the two look forward to attending every game next year.

“I love the atmosphere inside the stadium on game day,” Rochelle said.

Eleven other lucky Hoosier myLOTTERY members also won tickets to a Colts game at Lucas Oil Stadium and additional prizes.
