CHICAGO, IL (Chambana Today) – Three Illinois Lottery players contributed to a Lucky Day Lotto ticket and won $1.4 million. The trio have been friends for decades, and are nicknamed “Tommy Lotto and Crew.”
Tommy purchased the winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket for the Monday, October 4 midday drawing at his local Mobil gas station near Chicago’s Midway Airport. The winning ticket matched all five numbers in Monday’s midday Lucky Day Lotto drawing to score the $1.4 million jackpot prize.
When asked what they plan to do with their unexpected prize, Tommy said he is helping to pay for his daughter’s wedding. He’s also a huge Blackhawks fan and plans to treat his friends and family to many games this season.
The other two winners will invest in retirement, and the other plans to help support his kids’ college tuition.
