A lucky Lotto player struck gold at a BP gas station in Wadsworth, Illinois, snagging a $1 million jackpot, lottery officials confirmed Wednesday. The golden ticket was sold at 39105 North Highway 41, approximately 45 miles north of Chicago, as reported by CBS Chicago. Monday’s Lotto drawing produced a perfect match of all six numbers—2, 8, 10, 18, 22, and 28—for the lucky winner.

The store that sold the jackpot ticket is also to collect a tidy sum. The BP gas station is set to pocket a $10,000 selling bonus for their part in the win, according to details shared by FOX 32 Chicago. The Lottery commissioners have seen over 2.5 million winnings this year, which have translated into upwards of $32.8 million in total prizes for players. The fortunate winner has a year to claim the prize, with officials urging them to write their name on the back of the ticket and keep it secured until they claim their newfound wealth.

Lotto, the Illinois-only game that crafted the new millionaire, is played three times a week: each Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. Lotto enthusiasts can purchase tickets either in person, on the web, or through the Illinois Lottery's mobile app. The ever-elusive chance of striking it rich continues to draw hopeful players, all dreaming of being the next to match all six numbers. With millions of dollars in prizes annually handed out, the game maintains a strong following in the state.

As the search for the mystery millionaire continues, the clock is ticking, with one year to step forward. Holding a potentially life-changing piece of paper, the lucky individual remains at large, possibly oblivious to their fortune. "The winner has one year from the date of the draw to claim their prize," said lottery officials in a statement. While the lotto lore grows and tales of windfalls swirl, the holder of the ticket is encouraged to keep it in a safe place—a direct quote from what lottery officials announced.
