CHICAGO, IL (Chambana Today) – Yesterday’s Illinois Lottery Pick 4 game resulted not just in over $6.9 million in total prizes, but also had an unlikely draw outcome.

The numbers for the Pick 4 evening drawing on Wednesday were 4-4-4-4, with a FIREBALL number of 2.

Nearly 3,200 winning tickets were sold for the drawing, with more than 2,700 players taking home $2,500. The largest prize of $30,000 was won by an iLottery player.

This is the first time that the Pick 4 has resulted in four of the same number since June 2024.

Retailers who sold winning tickets also earned a 1% selling bonus based on the prize amount of each winning ticket sold at their location. Winners have one ye from the draw to claim their prizes, and the Illinois Lottery encourages all winners to sign the back of their ticket and store it in a safe place until they are ready to claim their prize.

Pick 3 and Pick 4 plus FIREBALL are games exclusive to Illinois with two draws daily. To play both gaems, players can select their numbers and a style of play, and then choose the amount they would like to wager on the draw. Drawings for both games are conducted daily at 12:40 p.m. and 9:22 p.m.
