The Illinois Lottery is teaming up with Mariano’s to sponsor ‘Virtual Live! At Mariano’s’ music series. To bring communities together while staying apart, the Friday night concerts will be live-streamed from local Chicago artists’ homes or studios and feature genres ranging from jazz, indie, rock, soul, and more. The Illinois Lottery is giving viewers (18 years and older) a chance to win $20 worth of instant tickets during each live stream.
