Illinois Lottery Account Payments, Deposits, & Withdrawals

To deposit funds, verified players must first add their credit or debit card to their Illinois Lottery account. After logging in, navigate to My Account. From there, select My Wallet and then Card Management to add your credit or debit card. We accept most forms of Visa®, MasterCard®, and Discover® credit and debit cards. Please note that some banks (e.g., Capital One, Chase, Goldman Sachs, and CitiBank) do not allow their credit or debit cards to be used for lottery transactions, which may result in a decline when attempting to make a deposit. 

After you have added your card, please select Deposit Funds from the My Wallet section of your account. Clicking Add More Funds will allow you to select your funding option and the deposit amount for the transaction.
Deposits cannot be withdrawn and must be used to purchase tickets via your account. 

The credit or debit card used must be in the player's name, and the address on your account must match the address associated with the credit or debit card. Mismatched information may result in a declined transaction.

Yes, players may deposit funds using Apple Pay or Google Pay.

A minimum of $10 can be deposited per transaction. Each player also has a deposit limit of $1,050 per rolling seven day period. This limit can be adjusted by the player in their Illinois Lottery account to be lower than the pre-defined limit, but it cannot exceed $1,050. There is also a maximum wallet limit of $2,000. Deposits will not be allowed if a player is at or near this limit. If winnings cause your total account balance to exceed $2,000, the excess winnings will be sent to your mailing address via check.

From your online My Account section, click My Wallet and Withdraw Funds. If you haven’t added your bank account, you can do so by selecting Bank Account Management first. Winnings over $10 can be withdrawn via check to the address on your account, or, if you have a bank account attached to your Illinois Lottery account, you can request an ACH transfer. Note that many banks do not allow the transfer of funds from a Lottery or gaming provider, so you may be unable to add your bank account. If you experience any issues, we recommend contacting your bank directly.

Your wallet balance will be displayed at the top of your screen, to the right of your name when you are logged into your Illinois Lottery account. Click your balance to learn more about the funds in your wallet.

Additionally, your credit or debit card information must remain valid and up to date, and your bank must approve your transactions. There is a possibility that your bank does not allow lottery transactions via your credit or debit card. If your card is not accepted, please contact your credit or debit card provider for more information.
