The Illinois Super Jackpot game's jackpot, which started at $50,000, has been pushed past the seven-figure mark due to increased interest. The winning ticket for this historic jackpot was sold to an online player from Bolingbrook.
Meanwhile, the winning ticket for the Lucky Day Lotto midday draw was purchased from MK Simplemart at 8145 S. Pulaski Ave. in Chicago. The retailer will receive a $5,500 premium for selling the winning ticket. The winning numbers for the Lucky Day Lotto midday draw were 3, 8, 15, 16, and 39.
The Illinois Lottery continues to be one of the most generous lotteries in the United States, with thousands of winning tickets sold every month. In 2025 alone, more than $15,700,000 has been awarded to players in the Illinois Super Jackpot game, and additional prizes have been given out in other games as well. As of 2025, 303,000 winning tickets have been sold for the Illinois Super Jackpot game.
To enter the Illinois Super Jackpot game, players need to spend $20. The Lucky Day Lotto game, one of the most popular options for players in Illinois, does not require a specific entry fee.
It's worth noting that the two winners over the weekend secured their wins in different ways. One winner chose to play online, while the other purchased a physical ticket.
