How Illinois Lotto works
Illinois Lotto is an Illinois draw game built around a top prize you win by matching all of the numbers drawn — about 1 in 15,890,700. That prize typically starts at a set minimum and rolls higher every drawing it goes unclaimed, which is how these games can build for weeks before someone finally hits them. It is drawn Mon · Thu · Sat at $2 a play.
The lower prize tiers are far easier to hit and pay smaller, mostly fixed amounts, so most winning tickets never touch the top prize. NumbersIntel derives the odds for every tier from the game's published rules. Like every lottery game it is negative-expected-value by design; the higher the top prize climbs, the more a ticket is worth — but also the likelier that prize is to be split between multiple winners.
Our archive holds 2,197 Illinois Lotto draws going back to 2010, which powers the number-frequency statistics — the most and least common numbers, current hot and cold streaks, and the longest-overdue numbers. Those describe what has already happened; because each draw is independent, no number is ever truly ‘due.’
