Players in Illinois better keep their eyes peeled, because one lucky ticket won the Lucky Day Lotto draw on Thursday, March 5, securing an eye-watering $500,000 payout.

The player was able to match all five numbers for the draw, with 10, 15, 22, 35, and 44 leading to the life-altering win.

As to the details about the win, the Illinois Lottery released the customary input, offering information about where the ticket was bought and, in this case, at Woodman’s Food Market, located at 27555 IL RTE 120, Lakemoor, Illinois.

The store will also claim a 1% premium for selling the lucky ticket, amounting to $5,000. As to the winners themselves? They still haven’t stepped forward, and even if they did, they may choose to remain anonymous.

The March 5 draw for the Lucky Day Lotto saw a massive $600,000 paid out in total prizes. The lottery also used the opportunity to remind any winners that they should always store their tickets in a safe place until they have claimed them.

The Illinois Lottery similarly issued a reminder to all participants to make sure to check their tickets. The exact numbers of unclaimed jackpots in Illinois aren’t clearly reported, but it is likely that they run in the millions of dollars.
