Winning $1M Mega Millions Ticket Sold At Northbrook Gas Station

NORTHBROOK, IL — Check your lottery tickets. A winning $1 million Mega Millions ticket was purchased at a BP gas station in Northbrook following a Tuesday night draw, according to Illinois Lottery officials.

The winning numbers are: 9-15-46-55-57. The Dundee & Sanders gas station is located at 4095 Dundee Road.

"My employees and I can’t stop smiling because we are so excited and happy," Ratti Singh, owner of Dundee & Sanders BP, told Illinois Lottery. "It wasn’t the massive Powerball jackpot, but a million dollars is still a pretty big prize, and we'll take that any day."

It marks the second time this year an Illinois resident has won a prize of at least $1 million playing Mega Millions. To win the big prize, a winner must match all five numbers. The identity of the Northbrook winner is unknown at this time.

"I have owned this store for over 25 years and know almost everyone that shops here so I have a good feeling that it’s one of my regular lottery players — at least I hope so," Singh said.

According to lottery officials, owning an establishment that sells a winning ticket can be lucrative. Retailers who sell winning tickets bring their business a cash selling bonus of one percent of the prize amount. For Dundee & Sanders BP, that means a bonus of $10,000.

"I haven’t figured out what I’m going to do with the bonus but I will definitely use a portion of the money to celebrate with my dedicated employees, and then the rest will most likely go back into my business," Singh said.
