CHICAGO, September 14, 2026 – Illinois Lottery players, check your Lucky Day Lotto® tickets! Two players matched all five numbers — 14-19-27-38-43 — in the Saturday, September 12 midday drawing, with each ticket winning the game’s $200,000 jackpot.

The winning tickets were purchased at Circle K, located at 1400 E. Steger Rd. in Crete, and Love’s Travel Stop, located at 400 Steward Rd. in Rochelle. Each retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus, equal to 1% of the prize amount.

The Lucky Day Lotto winning streak continues for Illinois Lottery players, following a trio of Labor Day weekend jackpot wins, including a $550,000 prize in Saint Charles, a $100,000 online win, and a $200,000 prize in Chicago.
