The backstory:
The ticket was bought for the Friday midday drawing at a Shell gas station located at 130 W. North Ave. in the Old Town neighborhood.
The lucky winner matched all five numbers in the drawing to take home the jackpot. The winning numbers were 28-29-30-32-37.
"Not only did we sell this big winning ticket, but less than a month ago, we sold a $50,000 winning $10 scratch-off ticket! I might be like a lucky penny," Manny J., owner of the gas station, told the Illinois Lottery.
For selling the jackpot-winning ticket, the gas station will receive one percent of the prize amount, or $7,000.
