$7.4 Million Illinois Lotto Jackpot Sold in Chicago

The Illinois Lotto draw on Monday, October 26 once again produced a million-dollar jackpot. A player from the state won the $7.4 million grand prize. To collect the payout, the winner must present the winning ticket at the draw center.

The ticket was sold at a BP gas station located at 6751 W. Archer Avenue in Chicago. The ticket matched the numbers 6, 12, 13, 14, 30 and 42. Store manager Abraham said he has held this position for 20 years and expressed his excitement that such a ticket was sold there. Abraham said he hopes the ticket belongs to one of the store's regular customers.

The store will also earn from this sale. A bonus of 1% of the prize will be paid to the store for selling the ticket, which will amount to $74,000. Abraham recalled that a few months ago they sold a $100,000 Lucky Day Lotto ticket and said this year has been a lucky one for the store.

Larger jackpots have also been won in this game this year. A ticket sold on January 24 at True North in Bartlett won a $11.6 million prize. At Tony's Fresh Market in Chicago, a $10.25 million jackpot was drawn in the August 1 draw.
