How old do you have to be to play the lottery in Illinois?
You must be at least 18 years old to buy a lottery ticket in Illinois, and retailers may ask for ID.
Can I remain anonymous if I win the lottery in Illinois?
Only for prizes of $250,000 or more. Illinois keeps the winner's name and town confidential on written request, but the lottery's claim form warns that this may not stop a release under the Freedom of Information Act.
How much tax will I pay on lottery winnings in Illinois?
Illinois withholds 4.95% in state income tax from lottery prizes of $1,000 or more. The federal government withholds 24% from prizes over $5,000. Withholding is only a prepayment: what you owe depends on your total income for the year, and most of a jackpot-sized prize is taxed at the top federal rate of 37%, so expect to owe more when you file. A tax professional can help you plan before you claim a large prize.
How long do I have to claim a lottery prize in Illinois?
Illinois sets the claim deadline in each game's rules, and we could not confirm the current deadlines from an official source. The deadline is often printed on the back of the ticket. Claim as soon as you can, because unclaimed prizes are forfeited. If you win a jackpot, ask the lottery how and when you choose between the cash option and the annuity, because the rules differ from state to state.
Where do Illinois Lottery profits go?
Illinois Lottery profits go mainly to the Common School Fund for K-12 education. Prizes, retailer commissions and operating costs are paid first.
