CHICAGO, August 4, 2026 —A grocery store in Chicago's southwest suburbs is celebrating after selling a $10.25 million jackpot-winning Lotto® ticket.

The winning ticket was purchased at Tony’s Fresh Market, located at 2300 S. Route 59 in Plainfield, and matched all six numbers in the Saturday, August 1, 2026 Lotto drawing: 1-14-19-21-43-50.

"My assistant sent me a screenshot from the Illinois Lottery website showing that our store sold the jackpot-winning ticket," said John Moorehouse, store director at Tony’s Fresh Market. "It's incredibly exciting. Of course, I wish I had been the one to buy it!"

For selling the jackpot-winning ticket, Tony’s Fresh Market will receive a $102,500 selling bonus—one percent of the prize amount.

"We don't know who the lucky winner is, but many of our regular customers play Lotto here," Moorehouse said. "We're all hoping the winner is someone from our local community."

The lucky ticket holder has one year from the date of the drawing to claim the $10.25 million prize.

This marks the sixth Lotto prize of $1 million or more won by an Illinois Lottery player in 2026, continuing a year of big wins across the state.

To date, Illinois Lottery players have claimed more than 3.6 million winning Lotto tickets, totaling over $43 million in prizes.

Lotto is an Illinois-only game that is played three times a week on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. Tickets for the game can be purchased in-store, online, or on the Illinois Lottery app.
