CHICAGO (AP) - The Illinois Lottery has a way you can win some money and help veterans at the same time.

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.
