Doesn't Illinois Lotto have a 3/6 prize? If so why wasn't there a mention of how many 3/6 winners? | | |

CASH - there WAS a list of 3/6 winners, but Illinois Lottery discontinued it... Last nite's draw (Mon. 9/26) there were 17,902 "players" that matched 3/6 for $3. -Curt Little Lotto King | | |

curt: If there is a 3/6 prize, the Illinois Lottery needs to reinforce that fact. People who read the press releases might think you need 4/6 to win. | | |

  However, they have it posted on www.illinoislottery.com, so they probably figure that's good enough....

curt: IIRC Little Lotto replaced a 7-number annuity-only game in the late 1980s. Funny how NY's pick-5 has not changed except for the frequency of draws in its 13+ years. | | |
