While most attention is being paid to the enormous Powerball jackpot up for grabs on Monday night, the Illinois Lottery’s Lotto top-prize could also pay out a life-changing amount of money to its winner.
According to Lottery officials, the Lotto jackpot for Monday’s drawing stands at $19.5 million, which makes it the game’s largest top prize of the year so far.
The jackpot is also the second-largest the game has seen in at least the last five years, according to officials. Lotto is an Illinois-only game that draws on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. Each ticket costs $2, and players can add an “Extra Shot” to their tickets for $1, which gives them a chance to boost non-jackpot prizes.
