It has also added hundreds of millions of dollars to the Capital Projects Fund. In addition to its portfolio of instant tickets, the Illinois Lottery offers a number of draw-based and terminal games for players, including Fast Play, Pick 3 with Fireball, Pick 4 with Fireball, Lucky Day Lotto and Lotto. It also sells tickets for multi-state games Mega Millions and Powerball.

Yesterday we dedicated our Illinois Lottery Springfield Headquarters and Prize Center to the legendary State Representative Edolo J. "Zeke" Giorgi, Father of the Lottery.' We were honored to have State Representative Dave Vella, grandson to Giorgi, and State Representative Maurice A. West II who represents some of Giorgi's former district, to share stories and remember the 'Father of the Lottery'. It's also fitting to remember how the Lottery came to be as we continue to celebrate our 50th anniversary.

It's hard to imagine that our 50-stop 50th anniversary retail tour is coming to an end this week. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting our players in their communities all throughout the state and visiting so many of our Illinois Lottery retailers along the way. Some of the team stopped by a recent tour stop at Newsome Video Connect in Hyde Park, Chicago this week to say hi. Thank you for the warm welcome, Newsome Video!

It’s Festival Season in Chicago and the Illinois Lottery, in partnership with Allwyn, is celebrating! The Lottery recently sponsored the 52nd annual Fiesta del Sol in Pilsen (hosted by Pilsen Neighbors Community Council) as well as the iconic 45th annual Chinatown Summer Fair! In Chinatown, the Illinois Lottery honored the traditions of the local Asian community with intricate, cultural red lanterns placed throughout its booth – traditionally used to symbolize good fortune, prosperity, and joy. At Fiesta del Sol, the Illinois Lottery’s booth included a “spin the wheel” where everyone walked away a winner, and a photobooth full of fun props paying homage to the Pilsen community. The Illinois Lottery also contributed $6,000 to the Guadalupe A. Reyes Fiesta del Sol Scholarship, which supports students from the Southwest side of Chicago. Allwyn North America, the operating partner of the Illinois Lottery, is proud to celebrate the cultural diversity among Illinois’s various communities.

Congratulations to our very own, Matthew Bell, for his North American Association of State & Provincial Lotteries Powers Award! The Powers Awards are named after Ed Powers, a lottery industry pioneer and the first lottery director in the United States. Matt Bell started at the Illinois Lottery in December 2020 as our Chief of Operations and Technology. Matt’s 25-year background in IT and state government made him a great candidate for the job, but his tenacity, curiosity, commitment and ability to address the needs of the Lottery is what led to his nomination for the Powers Award. https://lnkd.in/gUHcnpJn
