Lotto
Illinois Lotto is one of several state lottery games operated by Illinois Lottery.
Entry costs $1.00 per ticket, with draws taking place three times a week on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 21:22 local time. Tickets purchased before 21:15 are valid for that day’s draw, with subsequent purchases being entered into the next draw.
To enter, choose six numbers between 1 and 52, or go for the Quick Pick option to play with randomly selected numbers.
Players can pay another $1.00 per line for a randomly selected Extra Shot number between 1 and 25. Matching the Extra Shot number increases non-jackpot prizes only, enabling players to win more prizes at lower tiers.
Jackpot
Illinois Lotto offers a minimum jackpot of $2 million.There is no rollover or jackpot cap, with the available jackpot often rising to far greater amounts.
The biggest ever Illinois Lotto jackpot was won in 1989 when four ticket holders shared $69.9 million.
Odds and Prizes
The odds of winning the Illinois Lotto jackpot are 1 in 20,358,520.
These are longer odds than many other “match six” lotteries, but still worth a shot due to the potential jackpot!
Players can win at 11 prize tiers, with those who go for an Extra Shot having a 1 in 7 chance of winning a prize.
