Palatine Dad Of 4 Wins $500K In Lottery

PALATINE, IL — A Palatine father of four is a half-million dollars richer after picking the right numbers before an October Illinois Lottery drawing. Camilo Dulay won $500,000 when his Lucky Day Lotto ticket matched all five numbers from the Oct. 5 evening drawing, lottery officials said Wednesday.

Dulay, whose been playing the Lucky Day Lotto game for five years, bought the winning Quick Pick ticket at the Speedway gas station at 1288 N. Rand Road in Palatine. The numbers he selected - 06, 13, 22, 31, 27 - matched the ones that were drawn that night.

The local dad says much of the money he won will go toward his children's education.

“I plan to invest this money in my four children’s education,” he said.

The Speedway receives $5,000 as a reward for selling the winning ticket.
