On-Premise Retailer Resources
Hello Retailers!
Welcome to the Illinois Lottery On-Premise Retailer Resources page! Please use this page as a resource for information related to the Illinois Lottery and games you sell at your location. Our goal is to provide you the tools to successfully sell the Illinois Lottery in your store.
A NEW GAME HAS ARRIVED!
CASH POPTM is a new draw game where just ONE POP (number) wins! Players win by matching one POP to the Lottery drawn POP. Drawings are every hour (except during Night Mode hours of 1:30AM - 8:30AM) and prizes range from 5X to 250X the wager.
CASH POP is intended to complement HotWins while adding value to the traditional portfolio of games, maximizing the player experience both in retail and online. By introducing CASH POP, we remain competitive in an ever-evolving gaming landscape.
Key features of this unique experience include:
A new draw cadence featuring live drawings on in-store monitors.
A prize structure designed to boost in-store cashing and prize reinvestment.
HotWins® is a high-frequency game designed to increase the entertainment value of your venue and boost revenue with rapid, engaging draws. Looking to promote HotWins on your social channels? Check out the Social Media Assets on this page that include suggested copy and creative to post. There are also Winner Awareness posters that can be printed out and displayed at your location to encourage your customers to play for their chance to be the next big winner! HotWins educational materials and How to Play video can also be found below.
