The fake site claims to be The Illinois Lottery.
From the fake site:
The Illinois Lottery began July 1, 1974 amid great excitement across the state. During its first years, it sold "passive" games via weekly drawings. First year sales topped $129 million. Sales faltered in subsequent years, after the novelty of the Lottery wore off, prompting some to call for an end to the Lottery. In 1980 the first terminal game, Pick 3, was introduced. Pick 3 breathed new life into the Lottery, tallying sales of $164 million during its first full year of operation.

No doubt the real Illinois Lottery is active since 1974, since the fake site maker stole the entire site from the real company, doing minor changes for contact details and some other additional areas. But is hard to believe that the real Illinois Lottery has branches in the UK and Ghana.

Not: the fake site was reported to the Registrar in the same day when it was posted here. Soon after that the fake site looks to have no content anymore - the content moved on a subdomain: state.il-lotteryusa.com.
