CHICAGO — Check those lottery tickets! You could be a winner.

According to the Illinois Lottery, a $250,000 winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket purchased in Chicago last year remains unclaimed.

It was purchased for the Oct. 29, 2023 drawing at Fairplay Finer Foods, located at 2200 South Western Avenue.

The winner has less than two weeks left to claim their prize.

The Illinois Lottery advises players to check “every nook and cranny in their homes for the missing winning ticket.”

Winners have 364 days from the original drawing date to claim their prize, so the expiration date is quickly approaching.

This unclaimed Lucky Day Lotto ticket is one of seven Illinois Lottery prizes currently unclaimed, all totaling nearly $4.5 million.
