The latest Veterans Cash scratch-off ticket was unveiled Wednesday,
and some money from the ticket sales goes to helping veterans
organizations. The lottery says more than $7 million has been
given to veterans groups since the specialty lottery program
Veterans Cash was launched in 2006.
Gov. Pat Quinn scheduled stops around the state to promote the
latest $2 lottery ticket, called
"Stars & Stripes." He started in Chicago before heading to
Peoria and Springfield.
People who buy the ticket can win a top prize of $20,000.
