After multiple Illinois residents' big lottery wins over the last couple months, there's a new millionaire in town, but they haven't claimed their prize yet.

Imagine going about your day, running your regular errands and making a stop at your favorite convenience store to grab a drink.  Then, you decide to buy a lotto ticket and leave with an extra million dollars in your pocket.

Yes, this just happened in Chicago.

The Illinois Lottery announced that a $1 million winning Lotto ticket was sold at a Beverage Mart in Chicago for the October 3rd drawing.,  They matched all the numbers: 15, 19, 26, 29, 39 and 49.

I think the funniest part about this is that the winner could still be completely unaware they won.

Maybe they're checking their numbers right now.  Maybe that ticket is sitting in their glove box, untouched.  Maybe it's in their wallet.  Or, worst case scenario, maybe it's in the trash.

If you bought a Lotto ticket at Armanetti Town Beverage Mart this past Saturday, this is your sign to go find it, like right now!

The store's owner, said he was shocked when his manager called to tell him the store had sold the winning ticket.  He's owned the business for 11 years and they've sold plenty of winning lottery tickets, but this was the biggest one so far.  Naturally, they'd hope it's one of their regular customers!

The store is also getting a $10,000 bonus for selling the ticket, too.
