Illinois Lottery Launches CASH POP, a New Draw Game Where Just One Number Can Win
CHICAGO, October 30, 2026 — Match ONE number to win! The Illinois Lottery is giving players a new way to play with the launch of CASH POP™, a high-frequency draw game where matching a single selected number—or “POP”—can win players cash prizes.
Available now online and at nearly 7,000 retail locations across Illinois, CASH POP offers a simple, fast-paced playing experience and adds another option to the Lottery’s growing lineup of draw games.
“CASH POP brings another exciting game to Illinois, giving players a new, fun way to play,” said Harold Mays, Director of the Illinois Lottery. “As we continue to evolve the Lottery experience, we’re focused on offering games that are engaging, easy to play and available across both retail and digital platforms.”
CASH POP joins HotWins, which launched in November 2025, as part of the Illinois Lottery’s growing portfolio of high-frequency draw games, with drawings held every hour from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.
ONE POP. ONE MATCH. YOU WIN.
CASH POP gives players flexibility in how they play. Players can select between one and 15 POPs, choose a wager of $1, $2, $5 or $10 per POP, and decide how many draws to play.
Players win by matching their selected POPs to the Lottery drawn POP to win the prize displayed on their ticket. Prize amounts are randomly assigned at the time of purchase based on the selected wager amount. A $1 wager can win a prize ranging from 5X to 250X the wager, up to $250, while a $10 wager can win up to $2,500. Selecting more POPs improves the odds of winning, while higher wagers offer the potential for larger prizes.
With its straightforward format and flexible play options, CASH POP adds another dimension to the Illinois Lottery’s draw game lineup, giving players another way to engage with draw games across retail and digital channels.
