According to a news release, the winning Lotto ticket was purchased at a BP gas station at 8222 Joliet Road in La Grange for the May 2 drawing..
The lucky player’s winning ticket matched all six numbers in the Thursday, May 2 drawing to score the $4.1 million jackpot, the release said. The winning numbers were: 2-3-9-19-32-40.
This is the third-largest Lotto jackpot prize won so far this year, coming in behind a $10.4 million winning prize sold in Park Ridge in February, and a $5.45 million win sold in Chicago in March, the release said.
