The rest of the roll: where verification ends

ROW 82-4 · TESTED NEGATIVE BELOW THE STORY THRESHOLD, WITH THE SOURCE CLASS NAMED

Below the million, the published record thins to nothing — and the thinning is itself documented: the Hoosier Lottery publishes two classes of winner record. The first is the winner story: a written feature, produced for prizes the Lottery chooses to publicize, carrying the purchased-city field this run searched. Searched whole by that field, the story class returns exactly one Granger entry — Hurst, in the article above. The second class is the rolling winner feed on the Lottery's game pages (name, game, purchased-in city, claim date), which in the record crawled for this run runs at small-prize strength — $1,000 to $5,000 claims — and is published as a current feed, not an archive: it cannot be swept backward by city, and no Granger entry stands in the feed as read in November 2026. Between those two classes, the smaller Granger roll — the $10,000, $50,000 and $100,000 claims that a suburb of thirty thousand statistically produces across thirty-seven years of play — is simply not published in a form open sources can gather by place. This row therefore closes as a tested negative at published strength: no smaller Granger win is documented in either published class, printed with the searches above, and the roll ends where verification ends, at Hurst's ticket. The settling source for any future completion is named: the Hoosier Lottery's winner database in full (its internal claim records by retailer and city), reachable by public-records request to the State Lottery Commission of Indiana — not by any page the Lottery publishes.
