An unidentified customer fills out a lottery form.

The Illinois Lottery said Monday it’s trying to find the winner of a $750,000 Lucky Day Lotto ticket purchased in Bloomington.
The lottery said in a news release someone purchased the winning ticket for the Aug. 16 drawing at Casey’s General Store, 2017 Fox Creek Road.

The ticket matched all five numbers (1, 12, 16, 31, 34) to win the jackpot.

The store will receive a 1% bonus, which amounts to $7,500.

The lottery allows one year for winners to claim their prize.

The lottery said the lotto drawing last Friday yielded 27,300 winning tickets worth $815,900 in prizes.
