The Illinois Lottery reported $3.76 billion in sales for the 2025 fiscal year, marking its second-highest sales year.

The lottery generated $796 million in proceeds, contributing $784 million to the Common School Fund, supporting K-12 public education, according to a community announcement.

Additionally, over $12 million was allocated to special causes in Illinois.

Illinois Lottery players won over $2.5 billion in prizes from 109.5 million winning tickets. Nearly 100 players won $1 million or more, with one player securing a $349 million Mega Millions jackpot. This marks the fourth Mega Millions jackpot win over $300 million for Illinois players in the past four years.

“We are proud to be able to offer our players fun games to play responsibly for a chance to win while at the same time generating funding to support K-12 education and other good causes,” Harold Mays, director of the Illinois Lottery, said in the announcement.
