State of Illinois Online Lottery

The year was 1974 and quite an exciting one for Illinoisans when it officially sells its first ticket on July 30th for the State Lottery. By December of the same year, a staggering 100,000,000th ticket was sold. It was an instant success as the public visions of a paradise lifestyle of champagne, caviar and living the good life if they won. By 1983 Illinois became the first state to guarantee a million-dollar prize. In true Chicago style, it was ironic that the bartender of the famous Billy Goat Tavern (famous for the Cubs baseball curse) was the first millionaire of the Lotto.

A significant breakthrough comes in March 2012 when officials pass a law allowing the purchase of online lottery tickets, the first state in the country. Revenues contribute to the public-school system, roads, bridges and capital projects for Illinois.
