Illinois Lotto: Results Today, Extra Shot & Lotto Million 1 and 2 Guide
Welcome to the live winning numbers portal and official player guide for Illinois Lotto, the Prairie State's flagship exclusive jackpot game. First introduced in February 1983, Illinois Lotto has been a cornerstone of local lottery excitement for more than 40 years. Drawings take place three times a week on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday nights at 9:22 PM Central Time (CT).
In September 2021, the Illinois Lottery completely revolutionized Lotto by offering three separate million-dollar drawings on every single $2 ticket! For just $2 per play, your six numbers are automatically entered into three separate drawings on the same night: the Main Jackpot drawing (which starts at a guaranteed $2,000,000 and rolls over with every draw until won), the Lotto Million 1 drawing (with a fixed top prize of $1,000,000), and the Lotto Million 2 drawing (with a fixed top prize of $1,000,000)!
Players choose 6 numbers from a pool of 1 to 50. The odds of matching all 6 numbers to win the main jackpot are 1 in 15,890,700, providing dramatically better jackpot odds than multi-state games. Furthermore, players can add the Extra Shot option for $1.00 extra per play. In the Extra Shot drawing, a 7th number from 1 to 25 is drawn, unlocking 9 additional prize tiers and multiplying lower-tier winnings up to 25x! Overall odds of winning any prize are an exceptional 1 in 7.3 (or 1 in 6.9 with Extra Shot).
Every dollar spent on Illinois Lotto directly funds the Common School Fund, helping provide modern learning tools, textbooks, and essential resources to K-12 students across Illinois. Under state law, prizes exceeding $250,000 can be claimed anonymously with written consent. Illinois state tax withholding is 4.95% alongside the standard 24% federal tax on prizes over $5,000. Players have 365 days from the draw date to claim prizes at authorized retailers, district offices, or online.
