Illinois Cash Pop is a quick-fire game with hourly drawings and great flexibility over how to play. You can decide how much to wager and win prizes of up to 250x the amount you spend, just for matching a single number between 1 and 15!
As Cash Pop only requires you to pick one number from 1 to 15, the odds of winning are always 1 in 15 for each Pop that you play. The twist is that the prize you are playing for is not always the same.
When you receive your ticket, your selected number will also have a prize value shown next to it. This is the amount that you will win if your number is drawn. The prize value is generated at random, but it will always be between 5x and 250x your wager amount. If you wager the maximum $10, you could win $2,500.
The odds are different for each prize value being generated on your ticket. For example, if you wager $1, it is more likely that a $5 prize will be shown on your ticket than a payout of $250. The following tables show the possible prizes for each wager amount, along with the odds of winning.

Cash Pop combines a simple format with customizable play. The game is available online or at retail locations in Illinois. Follow the steps below to take part.
You are only required to pick one number from 1 to 15, although you can choose more if you wish. Select the ‘Pop All’ option to play all 15 numbers and guarantee a payout. Get a Quick Pick to play just one random number.
Decide how much to wager per Pop - $1, $2, $5 or $10. The more you spend, the higher the potential prize amounts that will be generated on your ticket.
Decide how many consecutive drawings to enter. It is possible to enter up to six drawings in a row online, or as many as 18 consecutive draws at a retailer.
Review your selections and pay for your entries. The total cost depends on how many Pops you choose, your wager amount, and the number of draws you enter.
Drawings start at 8:30 AM CT and take place every hour until 1:30 AM CT, adding up to 18 draws per day.
Playing all 15 numbers guarantees that you will receive a payout, as one of your selected numbers is certain to be drawn. However, there is no guarantee that the payout will be greater than the amount you spent to play all 15 numbers.
No. A big part of Cash Pop is the random prize that is generated on your ticket at the point of purchase, so you are not allowed to cancel your ticket if you find out that it’s not one of the biggest prize amounts on your ticket!
The minimum age to play any Illinois Lottery game is 18.
All lottery prizes in Illinois must be claimed within one year of the draw date.
