Big Payday For Two Lucky Illinois Lottery Players

October 20th, 2026

CHICAGO, October 20, 2026 — Two Illinois Lottery players are starting the week a whole lot richer after matching all five numbers in Sunday’s Lucky Day Lotto midday drawing, with each winning the game’s $300,000 jackpot.

The winning numbers for the Lucky Day Lotto midday drawing were: 4-17-19-23-24.  

One winning ticket was purchased online, while the other was purchased at a Mobil gas station, located at 4002 W. Dempster St. in Skokie. 

For selling the winning ticket, the Mobil gas station will receive a $3,000 selling bonus, equal to 1% of the total prize amount. 

The latest wins continue a hot streak for Lucky Day Lotto players. An iLottery player won a $800,000 jackpot in the Thursday, October 8, evening drawing.

So far this year, more than 9 million winning Lucky Day Lotto tickets have been sold, resulting in nearly $55 million in prizes claimed by players across Illinois.

Lucky Day Lotto winners have one year from the draw date to claim their prizes. 

Lucky Day Lotto is an Illinois-only draw game with two daily drawings at 12:40 p.m. and 9:22 p.m., and jackpots starting at $100,000. Tickets are available in-store, online, and via the Illinois Lottery app.
