Calling All Budding Billionaires (Well, Maybe Not Billionaires, But You Get the Idea) : An Insider's Guide to Illinois Lucky Day Lotto
Have you ever dreamt of quitting your day job, firing your boss into a net (metaphorically speaking of course), and living life on a beach somewhere sipping margaritas with tiny umbrellas? Yeah, us too. But let's be honest, winning the lottery is the dream, right? Well, if you're in Illinois and those dreams are getting a little too real, then my friend, Illinois Lucky Day Lotto might be your ticket to paradise (or at least a very fancy new toaster).
What is Illinois Lucky Day Lotto |
What is it and Why Should You Care?
Lucky Day Lotto is basically the lottery's fun, fast-paced little cousin. For a mere $1 (cheaper than your daily latte habit!), you get a chance to win a jackpot of at least $100,000, and get this - there are two drawings every single day. That's right, twice the chance to become a millionaire (well, maybe not a millionaire, but definitely more comfortable than you are right now).
How Does it Work? It's Easier Than Parallel Parking (Probably)
Here's the beauty of Lucky Day Lotto: it's simple. You pick 5 numbers from 1 to 45. If your numbers match the ones drawn, BAM! Instant confetti raining down (not literally, but you get the picture). There are also prizes for matching fewer numbers, so you don't have to hit the jackpot to walk away a winner.
Bonus Round: EZ Match
QuickTip: Pause at transitions — they signal new ideas.
Feeling fancy? For an extra buck, you can add EZ Match to your ticket. This gives you five extra numbers that are compared to the main drawing. Match a few and you could win up to $5,000. Not bad for a little extra somethin' somethin'.
Alright, Alright, I'm In. Now What?
Hold your horses there, champ. Lucky Day Lotto is only available in the glorious state of Illinois. So, if you're not lucky enough to live in the Land of Lincoln, you're out of luck (sorry, we couldn't resist). But for our Illinois friends, you can grab a ticket at any lottery retailer or even online (yes, really!).
Pro Tip: Check the Illinois Lottery website [Illinois Lottery ON Illinois Lottery illinoislottery.com] for the latest winning numbers and jackpot amount.
