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.
