WASHINGTON, IL — Someone who bought a lottery ticket in Washington is waking up $850,000 richer.
The Illinois Lottery announced that one player matched all five numbers in the Tuesday, Feb. 10 evening Lucky Day Lotto drawing to win the game’s $850,000 jackpot. The winning numbers were 1-5-7-14-24.
The winning ticket was sold at Casey’s General Store, 902 Walnut St., in Washington. For selling the jackpot-winning ticket, the store will receive a bonus of 1% of the prize amount — $8,500.
