Indiana man thought he’d won $100,000 in the lottery — then a ‘technical issue’ revealed his real prize

An Indiana man who believed he had won a $100,000 lottery jackpot was stunned when lottery officials later told him his prize was actually worth just $20 due to a"technical issue."

Mike Fields purchased several tickets for the Hoosier Lottery's new $5 Space Invaders Cash Invasion scratch-off game shortly after it launched. After scratching one of the tickets, Fields said he uncovered a rocket ship symbol that appeared to award the game's top prize of $100,000. Excited by what he believed was a life-changing win, he scanned the ticket and initially thought he had hit the jackpot.
