Three Illinois Lottery players are $300,000 richer after they matched all five numbers in Wednesday night's winning Lucky Day Lotto drawing.
The winning numbers in the drawing were 16, 19, 23, 25 and 30, Illinois Lottery said Thursday.
Two of the jackpot-winning tickets were bought online. One of them scored an extra $230 by matching four of five numbers on one play and three of five numbers on two other lines.
The third ticket was purchased at the Citgo gas station at 8258 S. Martin Luther King Drive in Chicago, the Illinois Lottery shared. For selling the ticket, the gas station will receive 1 percent of the prize money, or $3,000, as a bonus.
Winners have one year from the draw date to claim their prize money.
So far this year, more than 10 million winning Lucky Day Lotto tickets have been sold statewide, with players claiming nearly $60 million in prizes.
An Illinois-only game, the Lucky Day Lotto has two daily drawings at 12:40 p.m. and 9:22 p.m. Jackpots start at 100,000.
