$2M winning Powerball ticket sold on Chicago’s Northwest Side

CHICAGO — An Illinois lottery player won $2 million off a Powerball ticket bought in the city’s Logan Square neighborhood.

The winning ticket was purchased at Foodsmart, a family-owned grocery store, located at 3415 W. Diversey Ave, for the July 13 Powerball drawing.

“We are so excited,” shared the owner of Foodsmart. “When I heard that we sold a $2 million winning Powerball ticket, I thought ‘What a lucky day for somebody… and for us, too!’”

The winner matched all five numbers, plus they added the game’s ‘Power Play’ feature to win the $2 million prize. The numbers were: 9-55-59-66-69 and a Powerball of 21.

Foodsmart’s owner believes the lucky winner is one of their regular, loyal customers who stops in often.

For selling the winning ticket, Foodsmart will receive a bonus of one percent of the prize amount.

The owner of Foodsmart mentioned, “We are a 24-hour one-stop-shop business in Logan Square and we even remain open on holidays. We have a laundromat, grab-and-go food, and a full grocery store. We plan to use the bonus to reinvest back into our business. We always want to be adding new products and more variety for our customers. After our last lottery win, we used our bonus to add in a new deli.”
