Illinois Lottery player wins $1M on Lotto in Cook County

OAK FOREST, Ill. - One lucky Illinois Lottery player bought a $1 million Lotto ticket in Cook County Wednesday night. 

The $1 million winning Lotto ticket was purchased at a BP gas station at 5548 W. 159th St. in Oak Forest. 

The ticket matched all six numbers, 25-27-28-36-38-44, in the Lotto Million 1 drawing on Thursday, April 13.

"We’ve been waiting to get a big lottery winner at this location," said Joby Joseph,  who is the manager of the BP in Oak Forest and two other stores. "We’ve gotten winners at the other two locations, although none quite this big – it’s very exciting."
