Winners will have seven days to complete, sign and send the authorization form to IDPH to accept their prizes.

The Illinois Lottery will then guide winners through the claims process. Winners will be announced eight days after each draw unless they choose to remain anonymous.

IDPH reported that 7.7 million adults and 600,000 children — 76% of the eligible population — have been vaccinated against COVID-19 in Illinois.
