The Illinois Lottery and retail partner Mariano’s provided a free lunch, along with a Blue Police Memorial instant ticket, to say ‘thank you’ to police officers for continuing to support Illinois during the pandemic.
This lunch for police officers is part of the Lottery’s month-long statewide program to thank all first responders, in honor of the launch of the Illinois Lottery’s Blue Police Memorial instant ticket.
Mays said, “The Blue Police Memorial ticket helps generate funds to support the families of law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.”
Profits from the Blue Police Memorial ticket are used to build and maintain police memorials, hold annual police commemorations, and provide scholarships and financial assistance to the families of fallen officers or officers injured in the line of duty.
