Illinois Lottery awaits online lottery winner to step forward
The lottery has issued a press release to announce the win from May 12, where the winning numbers were 6, 11, 23, 28, and 30. This marks the largest prize awarded during a Monday drawing, with a total of 23,700 winning tickets purchased, accumulating $917,000 in total prizes. In 2025 alone, a total of 3.8 million tickets for this game have been sold, and the lottery has disbursed over $24.5 million in winnings. Although the lottery is eager to celebrate the win, they have chosen not to disclose further details at this time. The winning ticket was purchased online, preventing lottery officials from visiting a retail store to interview staff and speculate on the winner's identity. So far, no one has claimed the prize, but since it's an electronic ticket, it's unlikely to be lost or forgotten. Someone is on the brink of becoming very wealthy! The winner has the choice of receiving their prize as a lump sum or as an annuity. It's expected that they might prefer to take the lump sum rather than wait for annual installments.
