Time Running Out for Winning Lucky Day Lotto Player To Claim $350K Prize

CHICAGO, IL -- Time is running out for a Lucky Day Lotto player to claim a $350,000 prize from a ticket sold at a Chicago convenience store almost a year ago. Per Illinois Lottery Law, winners have within one year of the original drawing date to claim their lottery prize.

The winning ticket was purchased at A & B Convenience, 100 W. Randolph St., in Chicago, and matched all five numbers – 07 - 11 - 24 - 25 - 26 – to win a $350,000 jackpot prize in the Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2016 evening drawing. The retailer received a bonus of $3,500, or one percent of the prize amount, for selling a winning ticket.

Lottery prizes up to $600 can be claimed at nearly 8,000 retail locations. Prizes over $600 may be claimed at one of five Illinois Lottery Prize Centers across Illinois, located in Chicago, Des Plaines, Springfield, Rockford and Fairview Heights. Under Illinois Lottery Law, unclaimed prizes are transferred to either the Common School Fund or the Capital Projects Fund.

So, start turning the house upside down. Check your glove box, cookie jar, desk and anywhere else you may have stashed a winning lottery ticket.
