The rest of the documented roll

2023 — 2026

The $50,000 tier: Below the jackpots, the Lottery's own publications keep two South Bend names at the $50,000 level. Patrick Ward of South Bend won $50,000 playing Powerball; the Lottery's fiscal-2025 annual report carries him in its winner highlights. Ryan Gorski of South Bend won $50,000 on Powerball as well, in a winner story the Lottery published in October 2026: he found the ticket again while moving items from an old wallet to a new one, and he and his wife planned a Florida trip and a new car.

Sold here, holder unnamed: The release record also fixes prizes to South Bend stores without fixing them to South Bend winners. In the Powerball drawing of Wednesday, April 29, 2026 — a $143.4 million jackpot split between Indiana and Kansas, with Indiana's jackpot ticket sold at Al's Supermarket in La Porte — one of the fourteen $1 million tickets sold in Indiana, each matching five numbers without the Powerball, was bought at Olive Expo Food Mart, 2324 Elwood Avenue, in South Bend. The Lottery's releases name the store and not the holder; no claimant for the South Bend ticket is named in the record reached, and the 180-day claim window for that drawing closed on October 26, 2026. At the roll's small end, a $10,000 Mega Millions ticket was sold at Speedway #5487, 2075 East Ireland Road, in the drawing of August 8, 2023.

The boundary of the whole record: No South Bend ticket, and no South Bend resident, has won a Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot in any source reached. Indiana's two Mega Millions jackpots were won in Munster (2011) and Cambridge City (2016), and its most recent Powerball jackpot before the La Porte split was $435 million at Lafayette in 2017. This city's game, at the top, has been Hoosier Lotto and the second-chance drum.
