"is there a preference game to play with the best chances of a win?"

The best odds would be pick 3 and the odds go up by game type.

Whatever you are best at figuring out winners on.

Welcome to Illinois! LOL AKA Hellsville! Sorry I'm in Chicago and this is SOOOO not California.

Little Lotto is the game I prefer to play but for a dollar you get 2 plays on Lotto 6/52 (you need to hit at least 3 numbers to win)

Good Luck whatever game you choose to play!

hi ca-dreamin,

thanks for the advice, i played the lotto once before and noticed you get two games for your dollar, i may try going back to lotto even though you need more numbers to win having double the games sounds like better odds to me? 

-have a great weekend

Yeah I prefer to play Little Lotto because there's only 39 balls and you only have to pick 5 but if your a serious lotto player and don't mind the challenge of more numbers to work with, at two plays for a dollar you could certainly play alot more lines to try and capture a win. LOL I need to read that one again and ask myself why I'm not playin' Lotto!

I know some people who play a few dollars on Lotto and Mega every week and if you notice Illinois Lottery makes sure there's something to play everyday.

Whatever game(s) you choose to play keep an eye on Little Lotto. Sometimes the jackpot gets pretty high. Not enough to retire on but it would definitely put some money in the bank.

hi ca-dreamin,

it's all luck what you play and how much you spend on buying tickets, people have won on a single game and i've heard people spend a lot on games and still no win?? i want enough to retire, i don't need millions but enough to invest and live on the interest thus keeping my capital invested, actually enough to pay the morgage off would be ok too! then life would be so much easier,lol!

enjoy your weekend

Please post in the appropriate forum ... thank you.

Hi there themidds1959

Little Lotto is now a 5/39 game with a progressive jackpot that starts at $100,00 and rolls over until it's hit. It has been over $1,000,000 a few times, not bad for a pick 5 game.

It used to be a 5/ 30 game and you had to have 3 numbers to get paid anything. Back then 3 numbers paid $5, 4 numbers was parimutuel, and the jackpot, 5 of 5 was parimutuel, too. Here's a payoit from 2003:

_____________________________________________________

The payout structure changed so people hitting two numbers got paid - the whopping $1 that has been mentioned, 3 numbers pays $10, 4 pays $100, and 5 of 5 is the progressive jackpot.

So if you watch a drawing you root like this;

C'mon jackpot

c'mon $100

c'mon $10

c'mon $1

Darn!
