The Illinois Lottery is featuring the 2018 Carolyn Adams Ticket for the Cure in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Since 2006, ‘Ticket for the Cure’ has raised more than $12.5 million to support breast cancer research, awareness, and education in Illinois. One hundred percent of profits generated from ticket sales are distributed by the Illinois Department of Public Health, which awards grants to medical research centers and community organizations across Illinois that are working to find a cure or aid those fighting breast cancer. Each Carolyn Adams Ticket for the Cure costs $3. Available prizes range from $5 to three top prizes of $50,000.
According to the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health, breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the U.S. In Illinois, 28 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every day, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health.
