The Iowa Lottery has shared Pick 3 and Pick 4 numbers with the Illinois Lottery for a number of years to simplify the drawing process. Each state’s game, however, is separate. Proceeds from the sale of Pick 3 and Pick 4 tickets sold in Iowa stay in Iowa to help out valuable causes here. And, when you win a prize in Iowa’s Pick 3 and Pick 4 games, you claim it here.

Why does the Iowa lottery use the numbers drawn by the Illinois lottery on pick 3 & pick 4?

As the lottery’s vice president of external relations, I’m a member of the senior management team at the Iowa Lottery, where I’ve worked since 1999. I’ve spent my years at the lottery learning as much as I can about all the ins and outs of the lottery industry. I’ll put that knowledge to work here so I can share the behind-the-scenes details with you!
