Someone is going to collect $300,000 off a Lucky Day Lotto ticket sold in Effingham.

Two winning tickets were sold in Illinois, and one of those was sold at the Jack Flash store on Keller Drive. We spoke with Gail Bushue at the store who confirmed that the ticket was sold at his store, and the Illinois Lottery website has a story posted that a winning ticket was sold at Jack Flash.

The total jackpot was $600,000, meaning that each winning ticket is worth $300,000. In addition, the store gets a bonus of 1% of the jackpot, or $3,000.

The ticket matches all five numbers...01, 05, 09, 17, 19.

Winners have one year from the original drawing date to claim their prize.

The other winning ticket was sold in LaSalle.

More than 19,000 players also took home prizes ranging from $1 to $200.
