The Illinois Lottery has added HotWins to 25 Buffalo Wild Wings locations in Chicagoland and Rockford through a partnership with restaurant operator Grube Inc., announced September 30. The game runs a drawing every four minutes, with results displayed on screens and terminals inside participating venues. The expansion places HotWins in restaurants where guests gather for sports and entertainment.
Players choose between one and 10 numbers from a field of 80, with wagers starting at $1. A $10 HOT wager offers a top prize of up to $1 million. The participating restaurants will also offer other Illinois Lottery draw games. Lottery Director Harold Mays said Buffalo Wild Wings provides an environment suited to HotWins, connecting the game’s frequent drawings with the social experience of watching sports.
