The Illinois Lottery holds responsible gaming and player protection to the utmost importance. Once again, we are partnering with National Council on Problem Gambling on its annual Gift Responsibly campaign, reminding players that ‘Lottery Games are for Grown-ups – Not Kids’. The annual gift responsibly campaign demonstrates our ongoing commitment to incorporating responsible gaming practices in our day-to-day operations - and continuously improving! In the coming year, a key focus for the Lottery will be demonstrating the continual strengthening of the Lottery’s RG program as we aim to re-certify at the highest level of responsible gaming certification under the World Lottery Association (WLA) Responsible Gaming Framework.

Yesterday we dedicated our Illinois Lottery Springfield Headquarters and Prize Center to the legendary State Representative Edolo J. "Zeke" Giorgi, Father of the Lottery.' We were honored to have State Representative Dave Vella, grandson to Giorgi, and State Representative Maurice A. West II who represents some of Giorgi's former district, to share stories and remember the 'Father of the Lottery'. It's also fitting to remember how the Lottery came to be as we continue to celebrate our 50th anniversary.
