Press release submitted by the Illinois Lottery 

Check your desk, cookie jar, glove compartment, and anywhere else you may have stashed a winning lottery ticket.

Time is running out for a lucky lottery player to claim a $100,000 Lucky Day Lotto prize from a ticket sold almost a year ago in Lincolnwood.

The winning numbers in the Friday, January 31, 2014, Lucky Day Lotto evening drawing were – 10 – 17 – 23 – 27 – 29. The $100,000 winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased at Shell, 6400 North Lincoln Avenue in Lincolnwood. The retailer received a bonus of $1,000, 1 percent of the prize amount, for selling a winning ticket.

Lottery players have one year from the original drawing date to claim their prize. Prizes up to $600 can be claimed at most of the 8,100 Illinois Lottery retail locations.

Prizes over $600 may be claimed at one of five 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.

Players of Lucky Day Lotto, Lotto, Mega Millions and Powerball, can use the Illinois Lottery’s mobile app to purchase tickets, check winning numbers and jackpots, and even find a nearby retailer.

All players who win via the Illinois Lottery’s website are sent a notification to their personal email address, eliminating the chance of a prize going unclaimed. The free app is the first of its kind in the United States offering any Illinois adult the chance to purchase lottery tickets via an app.
