About Lotto

What is Illinois Lotto?

Illinois Lotto is a popular jackpot lottery game offered by the Illinois Lottery. For a $2 ticket, players select 6 numbers from 1 to 50, entering them into three separate drawings: the main Jackpot drawing (prizes from $1 up to the jackpot), and two additional Lotto Million drawings (each offering a fixed $1,000,000 prize). The game provides multiple chances to win big, with an optional Extra Shot add-on for $1 that enhances non-jackpot prizes by drawing an additional number from 1 to 25.

Brief History

The Illinois Lotto game launched on February 19, 1983, as a Saturday-only draw with six numbers plus an "alternate" from 40 balls. It expanded to a 6/44 matrix on May 19, 1984, and added Wednesday drawings on January 15, 1986. The matrix has evolved over time, reaching 6/50 on April 1, 2021, when the base wager increased to $2 (including entry to the two Lotto Million draws), the minimum jackpot was set at $2 million (rolling over by $250,000), and drawings shifted to Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. The Extra Shot add-on was introduced in November 2012 to boost non-jackpot prizes, and since October 1, 2015, drawings use a random number generator with results posted online.

Rules and How to Play

Basic Rules: Players must be 18 or older. Each game costs $2. Select 6 numbers from 1 to 50 (or use Quick Pick for random selection). Optionally add Extra Shot for $1, which draws a bonus number (1-25) to multiply non-jackpot prizes. Tickets can be played for one draw or up to 12 consecutive draws in advance. The Extra Shot number is drawn during the Jackpot drawing and applies only to non-jackpot prizes in the main drawing. Extra Shot does not affect the jackpot or Lotto Million prizes.

Prize Structure

Every $2 ticket includes entry into the Jackpot drawing and two Lotto Million drawings ($1,000,000 fixed prizes each). Prizes below are for the main Jackpot drawing. Pari-mutuel prizes are approximate and shared among winners. Extra Shot multiplies certain non-jackpot prizes by 25 and adds new tiers, but does not affect the jackpot odds or prizes.
