CHICAGO, October 22, 2024 – An Illinois Lottery player is a newly-minted millionaire after buying a $1 million winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket at Jewel-Osco in Elmhurst.

The jackpot-winning ticket was purchased for the Sunday, October 20 evening drawing at Jewel-Osco at 153 Schiller Street in Elmhurst.

The lucky player matched all five numbers in the Sunday evening drawing to score the $1 million jackpot prize. The winning numbers were: 2-3-24-25-28.

This is the ninth Illinois Lottery player this year to win $1 million dollars or more with Lucky Day Lotto.

This is also a big win for the retailer that sold the winning ticket, as the store will receive a selling bonus of one percent of the prize amount. For the Jewel-Osco in Elmhurst, that means a bonus of $10,000.

More than 31,000 winning Lucky Day Lotto tickets were sold to Illinois Lottery players for the Sunday, October 20 evening drawing.

Winners have one year from the date of the winning draw to claim their prize. The Illinois Lottery encourages all lucky winners to write their name on the back of their ticket and keep it in a safe place until they’re ready to claim their prize.

Lucky Day Lotto is an Illinois-only game with twice daily drawings at 12:40 p.m. and 9:22 p.m.
