The Motomart store in New Baden sold a Lucky Day Lotto ticket on Wednesday that won $400,000.

This is the second Lucky Day Lotto jackpot-winning ticket to be purchased at a Motomart in the Metro East area in as many months.  The other winning ticket was sold at the Godfrey Motomart.

The Manager of the New Baden Motomart Staphanie Bondaruk says this is the first big win for the store since it opened in May of last year.  She doesn’t know who won but has a feeling it’s one of her regulars.  Bondaruk is really hoping it’s a nice older gentleman who comes in every day and plays the midday Lucky Day Lotto.

Whomever the winning ticket holder is, they have one year from the date of their draw in which to claim their prize.  The Illinois Lottery encourages all winners to write their name on the back of their ticket and keep it in a safe place until they’re ready to claim their prize.

The winning numbers were 6-13-37-42 and 45.
