The chill of an Illinois winter is no match for the Illinois Lottery’s newest game – HotWins® which is bringing high-energy play and frequent drawings to players looking for a faster, more social lottery experience. Breaking from traditional daily or weekly drawings, HotWins® delivers a draw every four minutes—giving players frequent opportunities to play and win throughout the day. To celebrate the launch, the Illinois Lottery is hosting events across the state at both traditional lottery locations and new bar and restaurant locations. These events will educate Illinois residents on how to play, feature free giveaways, and offer chances to win additional prizes. For a schedule of upcoming events, visit IllinoisLottery.com/useful-information/event. To play HotWins, players select 1–10 numbers from 1 through 80 for a chance to win a prize. Wagers start at $1, with options to increase stakes for higher potential payouts. The $10 ‘HOT’ wager option offers a top prize of up to $1 million. Draw results are displayed live on in-store screens and terminals, creating an interactive and social experience—perfect for a night out with friends.
