As the temperature outside gets cooler, more Illinoisans are starting to stay inside to enjoy their favorite activities. For one Illinois iLottery player, that paid off big over the weekend – when they won half a million dollars playing Lucky Day Lotto.
The lucky winner matched all five numbers in the midday Sunday, November 11 Lucky Day Lotto drawing to score the $500,000 jackpot prize. The winning numbers were: 10-36-37-40-45.
Nearly 12,000 winning Lucky Day Lotto tickets were sold for the Sunday midday drawing.
So far this year, more than 10.5 million winning Lucky Day Lotto tickets have been sold, with total prizes amounting to over $61 million for Illinois Lottery players.
Winners have one year from the date of the winning draw in which 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.
Tickets for the game can be purchased in-store, online, or on the Illinois Lottery app. For more information or to buy tickets online, please visit IllinoisLottery.com.
