At Illinois Lottery’s website you’ll find the latest lottery results and upcoming drawing schedules, along with previous winning numbers and jackpots. Results are typically updated five minutes after each drawing takes place and can even provide barcode details of winning tickets not claimed within that time. Furthermore, an alert message will appear if a prize remains unclaimed after five minutes have elapsed.
When selecting your numbers, try to have a mix of odd and even numbers. Odd or even numbers rarely occur together in isolation – less than two percent of times! A good mixture would include two odd and four even numbers or three odd and two even.
