History Of Illinois Lottery

Starting operations on July 1, 1974, the Illinois lottery became the talk of the town and created immense excitement in the state, with its first-year sales exceeding $129 million. Throughout the following years, the sales slumped, but it continued to persevere. It eventually introduced a "Pick 3" game in 1980, that had sales of $164 million during the first year. In the beginning, the Lottery earnings went to the State General Revenue Fund, until a new law was passed in 1985, stating that the Common School Fund should be the primary benefactor. The Illinois Lottery online has since then been donating funds to many different causes around the State.

How To Play Illinois Lottery

If you want to play Illinois lottery online and try for that amazing jackpot, then it could not be simpler. You just need to select "Jackpot Games" and choose the "Lotto" option where you can purchase Lotto tickets. Here you can then decide how many tickets you want to purchase, with the price of tickets being $1 each. Players can then continue to choose their 6 lucky numbers from 01 to 52, or they can opt for the automatic random Quick Pick tool. Finally, players decide how many draws they would like to take part in. For an additional $1 players can also get an Extra Shot. An Extra Shot is an extra number from 01 to 25 that is randomly selected for players and provides another chance to win.

Matching the Extra Shot number allows players a chance to win additional non-jackpot prizes and increases the non-jackpot prize amounts. Players can apply the Extra Shot option on all the lines on a Lotto ticket, but not to individual lines on the ticket. If a player matches all six numbers with that of the Lotto draw results, they could be the winner of a jackpot of up to $2 million. If a player matches 5 numbers, they could win up to $50,000. In the past month, the Lotto has seen a jackpot winner and more than six lucky players have won $1000 cash.

• Select 6 lucky numbers from 01 to 52
