Doing Good for Illinois
Since 1985, the Illinois Lottery has contributed over $21 billion to the state’s Common School Fund to assist K-12 public schools. In FY2019 alone, the Illinois Lottery contributed $731 million to help fund public education.
It has contributed more than $4 million to specialty causes like Illinois Veterans services, the fight against breast cancer, MS research, Special Olympics, police memorials and assistance for people living with HIV/AIDS.
We are inspired by this legacy and are committed to fueling better lives and strengthening communities. Never losing sight of our responsibility, we work to put the people of Illinois first.

Investing in retail to improve the experience and expand to new locations.
Building a brand that encourages lots of people to play a little.
Introducing exciting new games.
Making games accessible so that people can play anytime, anywhere on any device.
Getting to know our players, to create products they want to play.
