A suburban Illinois Lottery player is feeling lucky after buying a ticket that won a jackpot worth nearly $1.5 million over the weekend.
According to officials, the winning ticket in the Lucky Day Lotto drawing was sold at a gas station in suburban Des Plaines, earning a $1.45 million jackpot in the game.
The winning numbers were: 6-27-32-33-40, according to officials.
The owner of the BP station said the customer is a regular at the location and came in to share the good news this week.
I am glad that this win goes to a familiar face and that we were able to celebrate with the lucky winner, says Febin Thomas in a statement.
For selling the ticket, the gas station will receive a cash bonus of $14,500, according to officials.
Nearly 10 million winning Lucky Day Lotto tickets have been sold this year, generating prizes of more than $50 million for players, the Lottery said.
The Illinois-only game has drawings twice a day at 12:40 p.m. and 9:22 p.m., officials said. Tickets can be purchased in stores, on the Illinois Lottery website and through their mobile app.
