CHICAGO — Illinois Lottery has announced winning ticket locations for its Mega Millions, Powerball and Lucky Day Lotto prizes. Albany Park and Riverdale players will split a $400,000 Lucky Day Lotto Jackpot prize, officials said.

The winning Lucky Day Lotto tickets in the Friday, April 5, evening drawing were purchased at BP, 3201 W. Montrose Ave., and Riverdale Meat Produce Market, 301 W. 138th St. Both tickets matched all five numbers – 6 - 8 - 23 - 28 - 40 – to win the jackpot, resulting in a $200,000 prize for each winner.

Each retailer will receive a bonus of $2,000, or one percent of the prize amount, for selling one of the winning tickets.

A gas station in Joliet sold a $2,000,000 winning Mega Millions ticket in the Friday, April 5, drawing, and a convenience store in Schaumburg sold a $1,000,000 winning Powerball ticket in the Saturday, April 6 draw.

The Illinois Lottery urges the lucky winners to sign the back of the ticket and keep it in a safe place until they call 1-800-252-1775 or visit one of the Lottery’s five Prize Centers in Chicago, Des Plaines, Rockford, Springfield or Fairview Heights. Winners have one year from the original drawing date to claim their prize.
