How to Play

Unlike other Illinois Lottery games, HotWins is not available online. However, it can be played at thousands of retail locations. Here are the steps to take part.

1

Start by choosing your numbers. The number range in HotWins is 1 to 80, but you can decide how many to choose. Pick any quantity of numbers between 1 and 10, depending on whether you’re looking for better odds or a bigger payout.

2

Decide how much to wager. There’s no set wager amount in HotWins. You can put down $1, $2, $5 or $10 per drawing. The more you bet, the more you can win!

3

Play the same numbers in multiple consecutive drawings to make sure you don’t miss out. You can enter as many as 15 in a row, giving you an hour’s worth of fun!

4

Buy your tickets before the draw takes place and wait to see the results! Winning numbers are displayed live on in-store screens and terminals.

How to Win

You win prizes based on how many of the winning numbers you match. The payout depends on which version of the game you play (10-Number, 9-Number etc) and the wager amount. Keep in mind that 20 winning numbers are selected at random in each draw, even though you can only select up to 10 numbers.
