A lucky Lotto player in the Chicago suburbs struck it rich last week, winning a whopping $4.1 million jackpot. The winning ticket, which matched all six numbers in Thursday evening’s drawing, was sold at McCook BP in La Grange.
In addition to the winner’s incredible windfall, the BP will also receive a $41,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. This bonus amounts to 1% of the total prize amount, providing a nice boost to the gas station’s revenue.
Lotto is an Illinois-only $2 jackpot game with drawings held at 9:22 p.m. every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. Players select six numbers on their ticket in hopes of matching them to the numbers drawn in order to win the jackpot.
For those interested in trying their luck, more information on the various games offered by the Illinois Lottery can be found on their website. With the potential to win big prizes like the recent $4.1 million jackpot, it’s no wonder that Lotto continues to be a popular choice for Illinois residents looking to test their luck.
