$700K winning Lotto ticket sold at gas station in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood
CHICAGO — A jackpot-winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket worth $700,000 was sold in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood.
The winning ticket was purchased at a Shell gas station, located at 130 West North Avenue.
The player matched all five numbers in Friday's midday drawing to score the jackpot prize. The winning numbers were: 28-29-30-32-37.
Manny J., owner of the Shell gas station, expressed with excitement, 'Not only did we sell this big winning ticket, but less than a month ago, we sold a $50,000 winning $10 scratch-off ticket! I might be like a lucky penny.'
For selling the winning ticket, the gas station will receive a bonus of one percent of the prize amount, that means a bonus of $7,000.
The owner added, 'Here's where it gets even crazier. I also own a Mobil in Des Plaines, which I lease out. Earlier this year on my birthday, that location sold a $10.4 million winning Lotto ticket!'
Manny J. also said, 'Many of my employees have been with me since the very first day this Shell station opened– over 25 years ago. That includes Alicia Sandoval, our store manager, and George Urbietta, who helps oversee all of our locations. I plan to reward my employees by distributing part of the bonus to them.'
