A lucky Rockford area guy wins $1 million in a lottery game

An Illinois Lottery player has won $1 million with a winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket sold at a Loves Park gas station.

The winning ticket was purchased for the April 22 midday drawing at Fas Mart, located at 6010 E. Riverside Blvd. Lottery officials said the winner, an Illinois woman who has remained anonymous, received the ticket as a gift and was shocked to learn it was a jackpot winner.

The winning ticket matched all five numbers. The winning numbers were 3-4-6-25-27. For selling the winning ticket, Fas Mart, will receive a selling bonus of one percent of the prize amount or $10,000.

The winner, according to lottery officials, plans to use her prize to buy a car. She also plans to give some to her grandfather, find a new place to live and save the rest.

So far this year, more than four million winning Lucky Day Lotto tickets have been sold, with total prizes amounting to more than $22 million.
