CHICAGO, IL – A fortuitous Illinois Lottery participant became a millionaire, securing a jackpot-winning Lotto ticket valued at $1 million. The winning ticket was purchased at a BP gas station in Wadsworth for the Lotto Million 1 drawing held on Monday, May 20.
Wadsworth, a quaint town located 45 miles north of Chicago with a population exceeding 3,000, is now home to this latest lottery millionaire. The lucky ticket matched all six numbers—2, 8, 10, 18, 22, 28—earning the player the $1 million jackpot prize.
This win not only benefits the lucky ticket holder but also the retailer. BP, located at 39105 North Highway 41 in Wadsworth, will receive a selling bonus of $10,000, equivalent to one percent of the jackpot prize.
