An Addison grocery store shopper struck gold this past weekend, with a $9.2 million windfall from the Illinois Lottery. They matched all six numbers in the Lotto drawing after buying the ticket at Jewel-Osco, located at 140 West Lake St., as reported by ABC7 Chicago.
The six winning digits revealed as 2, 15, 21, 29, 42, and 44 brought not only fortune to the ticket holder but also benefited the grocery store which will pocket a tidy sum - Jewel-Osco stands to gain $92,000, a 1% bonus of the jackpot for selling the lucky ticket, as detailed by CBS News.
This stroke of luck marks the eleventh instance in 2024 where an Illinois Lottery player has won a prize worth $1 million or more on the Lotto, and this jackpot sits just shy of the year's largest to date: a hearty $10.4 million pot claimed in February, as per CBS News.
