$4.25 million Lottery ticket sold in Streamwood

A Streamwood 7-Eleven store sold an Illinois Lottery ticket that won $4.25 million in Wednesday's drawing.

Officials are searching for the winning ticketholder. The ticket was sold at the 7-Eleven at 2 E. Irving Park Road.

"We don't know who exactly sold the ticket; we don't know who the winner is," store owner Jeff Allison said Thursday. "They haven't identified themselves yet."

Saturday's Lottery jackpot now resets to $2 million. The winning numbers for Wednesday's drawing were 1, 24, 29, 35, 41 and 45.

Allison and he and the 7-Eleven corporation will split a $42,500 bonus, equal to 1 percent of the jackpot.

"It definitely helps out - the store's been a lot slower than it used to be," said Allison, who has owned the store since 1982. "I'm having a hard time keeping up with bills."

He added that he will give some of his longtime employees bonuses courtesy of the winning ticket.
