In 2012, Illinois became the first state to offer residents the opportunity to purchase lottery tickets online. Today, the Illinois Lottery also raises funds for infrastructure and other causes. The state also features instant-win games dedicated to raising funds for veterans, people living with HIV/AIDS, and cancer and multiple sclerosis research.
