$650K winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket sold at store in Berwyn

BERWYN, Ill. — A jackpot-winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket worth $650,000 was sold at a store in the western suburbs.

The ticket was bought at the Berwyn Minimart, located inside the Clark gas station at 1546 Lombard Avenue.

“A regular customer came into our store the morning after the winning drawing and said ‘Your store sold a jackpot winning ticket – I saw it on the website!’,” exclaimed Mayurkumar Patel, the owner of the Berwyn Minimart where the winning ticket was sold. “I didn’t believe them until I went on the Illinois Lottery website and checked for myself. As soon as I saw my store listed as where the winning ticket was sold, my eyes went huge, my jaw dropped, and I burst out in laughter!”

The winning ticket matched all five numbers in the Oct. 5 evening drawing. The winning numbers were: 4-19-29-30-34.

While Patel doesn’t know exactly who won, he has a hunch it may be a regular customer they see often. “We have multiple regular customers who could be the big winner. Every time I see a customer come through the door now, I think, ‘They might be the lucky one who won.’ I hope the winner comes in and tells us, so we can share in the celebration with them!,” expressed Patel.

The Berwyn Minimart will receive a one percent bonus, or $6,500, for selling the winning ticket.

Patel plans to treat and celebrate the winnings with his three employees.
