CHICAGO (WIFR) - The Illinois Lottery will reopen four of its five Lottery Claim Centers by appointment only, starting July 27.

Lottery profits initially went to the State's General Revenue Fund, until legislation was passed in 1985 earmarking profits for the Common School Fund, which is still the Lottery's major benefactor. 2006 saw the first 'specialty instant games' launched; these games benefit a particular cause like Illinois Veterans, the fight against breast. “The new appointment-only system for Illinois Lottery Claim Centers will help protect the health and safety of Lottery players and staff, while managing the volume of players visiting each. Since 2004, the Tennessee Education Lottery has raised more than $5.7 billion for education, which has funded nearly 1.5 million scholarships and grants. We are gathering stories from people who have a story to tell about their experience with the Lottery-funded awards program-and we would love to hear yours. Illinois lottery results can be found on different sources such as local news, newspapers, and many more. For details of Illinois lottery and latest news visit Illinois Lottery Official Website.

“The new appointment-only system for Illinois Lottery Claim Centers will help protect the health and safety of Lottery players and staff, while managing the volume of players visiting each center by strictly adhering to social distancing and the building capacity guidelines of each facility,” according to the Illinois Lottery.

No walk-ins will be allowed. Players can visit IllinoisLottery.com to make an appointment.

To schedule a Claim Center appointment online, players will be required to submit the following information:

  • Claim Center location
  • First and last name
  • Phone number
  • Email address

The following Claim Centers will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. by appointment only:

  • Des Plaines - 9511 Harrison Street, Des Plaines, 60016
  • Fairview Heights - 15 Executive Drive, Fairview Heights, 62208
  • Rockford - 200 South Wyman, Rockford, 61101
  • Springfield (Illinois Lottery Headquarters) - Willard Ice Building
  • (Dept. of Revenue) 101 West Jefferson Street, Springfield, 62702

“We know that many players prefer the immediacy of claiming their prize in person. The new appointment system will allow those players to do that conveniently,” Illinois Lottery Acting Director Harold Mays said.

Due to high demand, the appointment schedule is expected to fill quickly. Players still have the option to claim any prize less than $600 at a local lottery retailer; players can also mail-in any sized claim.

“We’ve seen our mail-in program double its throughput since April, with thousands of players choosing it over waiting for an in-person visit. Many players have gotten their prize within 3-4 weeks of their claim being received. We strongly encourage players to try it,” Mays said.
