A gas station in Humboldt Park sold a $400,000 Lucky Day Lotto ticket, but the winner remains unidentified. The winning numbers from the August 12 drawing were 1-7-33-34-45. Store manager Bobby Patel shared that the store has been buzzing with excitement from regular customers eager to know about the winner. The Illinois Lottery spokesperson stated that the winner has one year to claim their prize by scheduling an appointment.
