Lotto Jackpot Swells To $16.55 Million For Tonight’s Draw

CHICAGO - Someone could jump-start June 2023 as a multi-millionaire. The Lotto jackpot for tonight’s drawing has swelled to a mouth-watering $16.55 million.

If a player wins tonight’s jackpot, it will surpass the last record-making Lotto jackpot won in June 2020 of $16.5 million.

While a couple of $1 million Lotto prizes were won by lucky winners in Romeoville and Oak Forest in April, the jackpot is still up for grabs.

In total this year, nearly 3.5 million winning Lotto tickets have been sold, netting players over $14 million in prizes.

Lotto is an Illinois-only game that is played three times a week on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.
