Romeoville player wins $1 million prize in Lucky Day Lotto

One player in Romeoville will be thanking their lucky stars when they realize they have won over $1 million after playing Saturday’s  midday Lucky Day Lotto draw.

The winner matched all five numbers of 4-8-22-27-37 for the May 18 midday drawing to score a jackpot prize of $1,050,000.

The winning ticket was sold at Sunshine Food Mart #5 at 5369 S. Budler Road in Romeoville. For selling the winning ticket, Sunshine Food Mart will receive a bonus of $10,500, or one percent of the million-dollar prize amount.

This is the second million-dollar prize won this month and the sixth Illinois Lottery player this year to win a prize of a million dollars or more playing Lucky Day Lotto.
