$270 Million Winning Mega Millions Ticket Sold in DuPage County

The third-largest Mega Millions jackpot — about $270 million — was won by someone who bought a ticket in Glendale Heights on Friday. The winning ticket was sold at Bucky’s Express, 1202 Bloomingdale Road.

The winner matched all the numbers drawn Friday — 26, 32, 44, 45 and 58 — plus the Mega Ball of 11, according to the Illinois Lottery. Was it you? Because we’re so ready to be your new best friend. ;-)

This is the first Mega Millions winner in Illinois since May 2012, when the Dirty Dozen, a partnership of employees who worked at a Chicago Heights bakery, won $118 million. Seven other employees of the Pita Pan Bakery sued the winners, claiming they had routinely been part of the lottery pool in the past and deserved to share in the winnings.
