Batavia store owner that sold $5.6 million lotto ticket says it's 'pretty exciting'

While the holder of Monday's $5.6 million winning Lotto ticket hasn't been identified yet, the owner of the Batavia store where the ticket was bought is in line for a nice bonus.

KL Liquor & Pantry will receive $56,000 from the Illinois Lottery. Retailers receive 1% of the prize awarded.

Owner Narendra Desai said in a news release that it "was pretty exciting."

"In the past five years, we've sold several winning Illinois Lottery tickets, including a $300,000 Lucky Day Lotto ticket and a $50,000 Lotto ticket, but this is by far the biggest winning jackpot ticket we've ever sold at our store," Desai said.

Desai said he and his family have owned the store at 1351 Wind Energy Pass for more than 17 years.

"This bonus will help extend the life of our small business, and we'll be able to continue to serve our loyal customers for many more years," he said in the release.

Though Desai said a majority of the bonus winnings will be put toward his business, he plans to use a portion of the bonus to buy some holiday gifts and possibly a family trip to Hawaii next year.

The winning ticket matched all six Lotto numbers in Monday evening's drawing: 13-27-30-31-34-38.

Winners have one year from the date of the winning draw in which to claim their prize.
