Another Illinois Lotto player became a millionaire overnight – making it the third $1 million Lotto winner in the past two weeks! The winning Lotto ticket was purchased at Stop 24 Liquors in Bolingbrook and matched all six Lotto Million 1 numbers in the Thursday, January 27 drawing: 26-29-33-41-44-50.
The newly minted millionaire has yet to come forward and claim their prize but Dashank Desai, co-owner of the liquor store, says he knows who bought the winning ticket. “The customer was in our store this morning when an Illinois Lottery representative informed us that we sold a $1 million winnings Lotto ticket,” said Desai. Stop 24 Liquors has sold several winning Lottery tickets over the years, but he says, “this one was the largest jackpot.”
For selling the winning ticket, the retailer will receive a bonus of $10,000, one percent of the prize amount. Lotto is an Illinois-only game that is played three times a week on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.
