Il Lottery Biography
The Illinois Lottery is operated by Northstar Lottery Group for the state of Illinois. The Lottery began July 1, 1974, when US lotteries were confined to the Northeast and Midwest.
Televised drawings are based at the West Bradley Place studios of Chicago's CW affiliate WGN-TV (channel 9), and occur twice daily, with the midday drawing at 12:40 p.m. CT during that station's noon newscast Monday-Fridays and on weekend afternoons during syndicated programming; and the evening drawing at 9:22 p.m. CT during the 9 p.m. newscast seven nights a week, with numbers also immediately relayed over the radio minutes later on WBBM (780/105.9), which formerly also broadcast the drawings until 2006 when it discontinued airing them to maintain their "news wheel" schedule. The drawings are supervised by the accounting firm of E.C. Ortiz & Co., LLP and verified by the auditing firm of Mayer Hoffman McCann, P.C. Illinois' is the only lottery to have their non multi-jurisdictional drawings televised nationwide (via WGN-TV's national superstation feed WGN America).
The Illinois Lottery is one of 44 members of Mega Millions, and one of 44 Powerball jurisdictions (whose drawings are also broadcast by WGN-TV in the Chicago area and nationally on WGN America); 43 lotteries offer both games. The Lottery also offers Lotto (players pick 6 of 52 numbers) with a smaller jackpot, on a Monday-Wednesday-Saturday night drawing schedule. Pick 3 and Pick 4 numbers are drawn twice daily; the same numbers apply to those playing the same games in neighboring Iowa. Lucky Day Lotto (5/39), with a minimum jackpot of $100,000, is drawn nightly.
