CHICAGO — A Brighton Park Citgo station has sold a $600,000 Lucky Day Lotto ticket.

Desirae Heil won the $600,000 prize when her ticket matched all five numbers — 01, 06, 12, 14, 21 — in the March 8 midday drawing.

She bought the ticket at the Citgo at 3820 S. Archer Ave.

“I’m shocked! I still can’t believe I won!” she said in a news release. “My winning numbers are family birthdays, and the date of my first date with my husband.” 

She and her husband have been married 31 years. They plan to share the windfall with their family, pay bills and invest, according to a news release.

The McKinley Park Citgo received a bonus of $6,000, or 1 percent of the prize amount, for selling the winning ticket.
