Illinois Lottery sees another Lucky Day Lotto winner scoop $1.35m

• The largest state Lucky Day Lotto jackpot prize has been won in Illinois on Monday
• The winner is still unknown, and they have a year from the day of the draw to claim their $1,350,000 windfall
• Six other players won one million or more from the Lucky Day Lotto so far this year

Illinois Lottery players who have recently bought a Lucky Day Lotto ticket at the Trio located at 695 Barrington Avenue, Carpentersville, should check their results, as one of them will fetch them $1,350,000 following the Monday, November 2 draw of the game.

The winner, whoever they may be, was able to match the winning numbers6, 12, 17, 31, and 43, which is the largest jackpot of the year. The Trio is also going to get a bonus for selling the correct ticket, equal to 1% of the total prize amount, or in this case, $13,500.

This is the largest jackpot won from the Lucky Day Lotto draw game in 2026 so far, making it a very special occasion. However, it’s hardly the only big win that has occurred from the game so far.

In fact, six other players have been able to secure prizes worth at least $1,000,000 or more this year, although none quite matched the current payout.

With 9,700,000+ Lucky Day Lotto tickets sold statewide and $58,000,000 generated in prizes in 2026, the draw game remains one of the hottest options Illinois Lottery players have on their hands.

As for the winner, even though they haven’t stepped forward to claim their award, they will have one year from the day of the draw to do so. Most winners opt for the lump sum payment, which is pretty standard.

The Illinois Lottery will likely release more details when and if the winner steps forward to claim their prize. In the meantime, lottery prizes in the Prairie State continue to drop.

Just several weeks ago, another player from the state scooped a $800,000 win from the Lucky Day Lotto.
