The Illinois Lottery's only multi-million jackpot game, Illinois' Lotto is definitely a crowd favorite among players. Thanks to the Extra Shot feature and tri-weekly drawing schedule, this particular game provides many opportunities to win.
Illinois Lotto Drawing Schedule
Illinois Lotto has tri-weekly draws – Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 9:22 PM CST.
Tickets must be purchased before 9:15 PM CST to qualify for that day's draw.
Illinois Lotto Payout and Mechanics
Illinois Lotto is very easy to play – just pick 6 numbers from a pool of 1 to 52. Match all 6 and take home the jackpot, which starts at $2 million and grows until someone wins it. You can also use Quick Pick and have your numbers generated randomly.
You can play one set of numbers for every $1 wager.
Extra Shot
For an additional $1 wager, you can make Lotto more rewarding with the Extra Shot feature. With Extra Shot, a number from 1 to 25 is randomly selected and printed on your ticket. Matching the Extra Shot number with that of the official draw will increase any non-jackpot prizes.
