Illinois Lottery Ticket Wins $550K off Lucky Day Lotto

One lucky player has much to be happy about after their ticket turned out to be a success. The $550,000 winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket was sold at a Springfield convenience store and produced the winner for the Monday, August 17 midday drawing.

Illinois Six-Figure Winner Yet to Step Forward and Claim Prize

The store in question was the Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh at 1025 Outer Park Dr. in the city, with the winning numbers 2, 7, 10, 33, and 41. This is the second big win in recent days, after the $1.04-billion Powerball jackpot dropped in the state, with the ticket sold at another Hy-Vee location in Quincy for the Wednesday, August 12 drawing. 

The $550,000 winner’s identity is still not known, but the lottery expects them to step forward and claim the prize soon enough. In the meantime, the Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh in Springfield is also going to get a $5,500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The winner – or indeed winners – will now have a whole year from the day of the win to claim their prize, meaning that there is still plenty of time.

Apart from the Powerball jackpot, multiple other prizes were won over the past weeks, ranging from $1 million to $10 million.
