Co-workers Turn $350 Guess Into $350,000 Jackpot
8 Feb
Summary
- Two Illinois co-workers initially mistook their lottery prize for $350.
- They won $350,000 from the Lucky Day Lotto game on January 7.
- Winnings will fund property investments, retirement, and a vacation.

Two Illinois co-workers discovered their lottery luck had brought them a $350,000 jackpot, after initially believing they had only won $350. Randy purchased the winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket from a Jewel-Osco in West Chicago for the January 7 evening drawing. He and his friend and co-worker, April, have a long-standing agreement to share any lottery winnings.
Upon checking the ticket, April confirmed their significant win after Randy's initial miscalculation. The friends expressed their disbelief, having often been told they would never win. The substantial prize money is earmarked for property investments, retirement funds, and a vacation trip. The store that sold the winning ticket will receive a $3,500 bonus.
