A big winning $4.1M lottery ticket is sold out in Cook County

A winning Illinois Lottery ticket worth over $4 million was sold a week ago in Cook County.

The jackpot-winning Lotto ticket was purchased from Jay's Fresh Market, located at 1550 N. Mannheim Road in Stone Park.

The ticket matched all six numbers for Saturday's Lotto drawing. The winning numbers were 1-11-15-16-34-41. "When we first heard the news, we thought it was fake or a joke," Minesh Patel, owner of Jay’s Fresh Market, told the Illinois Lottery.

"But the morning after the drawing, a customer came in and said ‘Did you see? Somebody won the Lotto jackpot last night and they bought their ticket here!’ That’s when we realized it was real I was so surprised and excited."

Jay's Fresh Market will receive one percent of the total prize amount, or $41,000. Patel said he plans to use the money to upgrade security and technology at his business.
