LINCOLN PARK — Did you buy a Lucky Day Lotto ticket at a Lincoln Park 7-Eleven recently? You might have won $150,000.
A winning ticket in the Sunday evening drawing was sold at 7-Eleven, 2710 N. Lincoln Ave., with the numbers: 07-16-34-38-39.
But the person who bought the ticket still has yet to claim his or her prize, according to a news release.
The Illinois Lottery urges the winner to immediately sign the back of the ticket and keep it in a safe place before claiming the prize.
Winners have one year from the original drawing date to claim their prize at one of five centers in Chicago, Des Plaines, Rockford, Springfield or Fairview Heights.
The Illinois Lottery made headlines for its inability to pay winners big prizes until the state budget crisis is resolved.
But it resumed paying winners the week of the Dec. 14.
"The budget impasse no longer has any bearing on authority to disburse winnings," according to a lottery spokesman.
