July 6, 2026 Illinois Lottery Results Overview
On July 6, 2026 the Illinois Lottery conducted its regular slate of draw games, offering players multiple chances to win across different prize tiers. The evening’s Powerball draw produced the numbers 17, 44, 63, 66, and 67, with the red Powerball landing on 04 and the Power Play multiplier set at 2. This combination meant that any ticket matching the five white balls (regardless of order) would have won at least the $1 million base prize, while the Power Play could increase non‑jackpot winnings up to $2 million depending on the multiplier drawn.
The Pick‑3 game, which offers two daily draws, saw the midday result 8‑0‑9 accompanied by a Fireball of 0. The evening draw shifted slightly to 8‑2‑3 with a Fireball of 1. Because the Fireball can replace any one of the three drawn numbers, players who matched the Fireball with their selected numbers had additional ways to secure a prize, improving odds for the popular 1‑in‑1,000 straight play.
Similarly, the Pick‑4 game featured two draws. The midday outcome was 1‑2‑0‑4 with a Fireball of 6, while the evening draw yielded 6‑3‑5‑2, also paired with a Fireball of 6. The Fireball option in Pick‑4 works the same way as in Pick‑3, allowing a substitution that can turn a near‑miss into a winning combination, thereby enhancing the appeal of the game for those who favor more frequent, smaller payouts.
Moving to the larger jackpot‑style games, the Lucky Day Lotto midday draw produced the numbers 09, 18, 26, 36, and 41. The evening draw shifted to 10, 22, 24, 29, and 43. Lucky Day Lotto offers a fixed‑prize structure where matching all five numbers wins the top prize of $100,000, with lower tiers for four‑of‑five, three‑of‑five, and two‑of‑five matches. The addition of a second daily draw gives players two opportunities each day to hit those prizes.
The traditional Lotto game, which draws six numbers plus an Extra Shot, delivered 05, 09, 11, 14, 21, and 36 with the Extra Shot landing on 15. In Lotto, matching all six numbers wins the jackpot (which rolls over if not hit), while the Extra Shot provides a second chance to boost non‑jackpot prizes—matching the Extra Shot alone or in combination with other numbers can increase winnings by a set amount.
Claiming Your Prize
The Illinois Lottery provides a tiered claim process based on the prize amount. For winnings up to $600, winners may redeem their ticket at any authorized retailer, visit a Claim Center, mail the ticket to the Illinois Lottery Claims Department (P.O. Box 19080, Springfield, IL), or submit an e‑Claim online. Prizes ranging from $601 to $10,000 can be claimed at a Claim Center, by mail, or via e‑Claim. Any prize exceeding $10,000 requires an in‑person visit to a Claim Center or a mailed claim; in‑person claims necessitate scheduling an appointment ahead of time. Regardless of the claim method, all winners must present a valid photo ID and proof of their Social Security number to verify identity and comply with tax reporting requirements.
