Winning Lotto Ticket Worth $162,500 Sold in Willowbrook

By Joe O'Donnell

A winning lottery ticket worth $162,500 was sold Friday at a gas station in Willowbrook.

In a release sent out Monday morning, Illinois Lottery announced that a Lucky Day Lotto ticket purchased at Speedway, 9059 S. Kingery Hwy., had all five winning numbers from Friday night's drawing.

Those winning numbers were 03-06-19-33-35, the release said. The numbers were selected automatically via the Quick Pick option. 

The winning ticket-buyer has yet to come forward. 

The Speedway store will receive $1,625, 1 percent of the jackpot amount, for selling a winning ticket.

People in the area have gotten lucky before:

• In May 2011, the Darien Pantry at 737 Plainfield Road sold a lottery ticket over the weekend that matched the winning numbersfor the Little Lotto. 
• That was nothing compared to the $5.75 million ticket sold at the Minuteman Citgo on Plainfield Road in Darien in January 2011.
