About Illinois (IL) Lottery

The Illinois Lottery officially launched on July 1, 1974, and quickly became a favorite across the state. In its very first year, it generated an impressive $129 million in sales. Though enthusiasm dipped over time, the lottery regained momentum in 1980 with the introduction of its first terminal game, Pick 3, which boosted sales to $164 million and reignited public interest.

Today, the Illinois Lottery offers a wide variety of games including Pick 3, Pick 4, Lucky Day Lotto, Lotto, Powerball, and Mega Millions, providing players with exciting opportunities every day.

The lottery drawings are conducted under the supervision of an independent auditor to ensure integrity. In a unique move, Illinois became the only single-jurisdiction lottery to broadcast its drawings nationwide through WGN America. These broadcasts brought Illinois games into homes across the U.S. and even into parts of Canada. Although WGN America shifted its programming in 2014 and discontinued the broadcasts, the Illinois Lottery continues to maintain strict transparency in its operations.
