FAQs

Illinois Lotto Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about playing Lotto in Illinois

How do you play Illinois Lotto?

Playing Illinois Lotto is straightforward. You'll pick 6 numbers from 1 to 50, then add one Extra Shot from 1 to 25. Can't decide? Go with Quick Pick and let the terminal choose random numbers for you. Drawings happen Monday, Thursday, and Saturday at 21:22:00 CT, and you win by matching numbers to the drawn results. The more you match, the bigger your prize. Match all 6 plus the Extra Shot, and you've hit the jackpot.

How do I buy Illinois Lotto tickets?

Visit any authorized Illinois Lottery retailer, most convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores sell tickets. Tell the clerk you want Lotto, or use a self-service terminal if available. You can pick your own numbers or ask for Quick Pick. Tickets cost $2.00 per play, plus $1.00 if you add Extra Shot to multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to 10x, or add the Multiplier for $1 to multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2×, 3×, 4×, or 5×. Make sure to buy before the sales cutoff, which is 21:15:00 CT on drawing days. Always check your ticket before leaving the store.

Can I buy Illinois Lotto tickets online?

Illinois offers an official lottery app and website, but not all games may be available for online purchase. Check the official Illinois Lottery Official App or Illinois Lottery website to see if Lotto is currently available for online purchase. If available online, you'll need to create an account, verify you're physically located in Illinois, and follow the app's purchase process. Tickets purchased through the official app are the same as those bought at retail locations.

How much does a Illinois Lotto ticket cost?

A standard Illinois Lotto ticket costs $2.00 per play. Add Extra Shot for an extra $1.00, bringing your total to $3.00 per play. Extra Shot multiplies non-jackpot prizes by up to 10x. You can also Add the Multiplier for $1 to multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2×, 3×, 4×, or 5×. Combine all available options for up to $5.00 per play for maximum coverage. Want more chances? Buy multiple plays on one ticket. Most retailers accept cash and debit cards. The minimum purchase is one play.

When are Illinois Lotto drawings?

Lotto drawings happen Monday, Thursday, and Saturday at 21:22:00 CT. That gives you 3 chances to win each week. Ticket sales close at 21:15:00 CT on drawing nights. If you buy a multi-draw ticket, it'll play the same numbers for consecutive drawings. You can purchase tickets for up to multiple future drawings at once. This is great if you've got lucky numbers you play consistently.

What are the odds of winning Illinois Lotto?

The odds of hitting the Illinois Lotto jackpot are 1 in 2,311,539. That's tough, sure, but you've got 4 ways to win. Matching 3 numbers offers much better odds at 1 in 72.

What is Extra Shot in Illinois Lotto?

Extra Shot is an optional add-on that costs an extra $1.00 per play. It multiplies your non-jackpot winnings by 2x to 10x. The multiplier number is drawn separately right after the main drawing. Here's the catch: it doesn't multiply the jackpot. But for lower prize tiers, Extra Shot can significantly boost your winnings, potentially multiplying them by up to 10x. That's a significant boost. You decide whether to add Extra Shot when buying your ticket. Can't add it later.

Can I play Lotto if I don't live in Illinois?

Lotto is exclusive to Illinois. You'll need to be physically present in Illinois to buy tickets, either at a retail location or through a licensed courier service while you're in-state.

This is a state-specific game with its own unique rules and prize structure. Other states have similar games but different names and formats. Browse all Illinois lottery games to see what's available.
