    One Illinois resident is hundreds of thousands of dollars richer after a massive lottery drawing that took place on Monday (August. 4).

    According to an Illinois Lottery press release, the lucky winner guessed all five numbers correctly to win the top Lucky Day Lotto prize! The five winning numbers were 8-14-20-24-27. This specific winner played the Lucky Day Lotto game online through the state's official lottery app.

    So, how much did the fortunate lottery player win as part of Monday's massive drawing ?

    A whopping $900,000! The winner, whose name has yet to be revealed, has exactly one year to claim their prize before the money is gifted to the Illinois Common School Fund where it is repurposed for public school supplies across the state.

    The Illinois Lottery encourages players to write their name on their tickets and keep them in a memorable location to prevent winners from loosing out on large jackpots due to misplaced tickets.

    Lucky Day Lotto drawings occur twice a day at "12:40 p.m. and 9:22 p.m.," and are only available to Illinois residents. Lottery players can access the exciting game in a variety of ways including an in-store ticket purchase, online, or through the state's official lottery app.
