38 Ways to Leave Your Money

How many lottery games are there in Illinois? I couldn't believe it when I saw this but there are 38 different ways to play. The Springfield Journal-Register has more:

The number of weekly Illinois Lottery drawings will increase to 38 with the
addition of a Monday Lotto game.

The first Monday drawing is scheduled for April 4, according to
Courtney Hill, a spokesman for the Illinois Lottery. He said the decision was
made internally within the agency to increase sales.

Weekly Saturday Lotto drawings began in 1983, with a Wednesday drawing
added in 1986. The Lottery also offers the bi-weekly Mega Millions, the daily
Little Lotto, 26 weekly Pick 3 and Pick 4 drawings and a host of instant
games.

Good lord.
