It's easy and fun. A quick glance at this easy-to-follow guide will teach you the ins-and-outs of Illinois Lottery Games. Specialize in one game or play them all. Just remember, you must be 18 years or older to play. THE PLAY SLIP Select a play slip for the game you want to play: Mega Millions, Lotto, Little Lotto, Pick 3 or Pick 4 (Instant games don't need a play slip.) Pick your numbers by filling in the boxes with a blue or black ball-point pen only. The number of boxes you fill in will depend on which game you're playing. If you mark a panel in error there's no need to start over with a new play slip - simply mark the VOID box for that game. How much does it cost? Each game can be played for only a buck. Pick 3 and Pick 4 can be played for 50¢. Hand it to the retailer behind the counter. The retailer will simply enter your selections and give you your game ticket(s). Before you leave, check to make sure the retailer gave you the correct numbers. No refunds will be given for tickets printed incorrectly, except on Pick 3 or Pick 4, so check twice. Remember, if you want to play the same numbers, you can use your play slip over again. IN A HURRY? Ask for an automatic "Quick Pick," instead of a Play Slip. The computer randomly selects the numbers for you. IF YOU WIN Prizes up to $600 Simply head to any Lottery retailer and collect cash on the spot!
