An Illinois Lottery player has won a $700,000 jackpot with a Lucky Day Lotto ticket purchased at Jewel-Osco in Chicago. The winning ticket was bought for the November 10 evening drawing at the store located on West Irving Park Road.
The winner, who discovered their fortune after checking the ticket at a lottery machine, expressed disbelief upon realizing the prize amount. "Once I realized the prize was $700,000, I couldn’t believe it. I was in complete shock," they shared. The winning numbers for that draw were 11-13-21-33-35.
Reflecting on their win, the individual remarked, “I’ve always wondered what it would feel like to win the lottery. Well, I can tell you, it feels really good.” They plan to use part of their winnings for a trip to Europe with their spouse.
For selling the winning ticket, Jewel-Osco will receive a bonus of $7,000. Lucky Day Lotto is an Illinois-only game with drawings held twice daily.
