All Hail a Chicago Player, Hits $12.5 Million Lottery Prize

Donald Lynn is Illinois Lottery’s new millionaire, winning the $12.25 million jackpot in the June 12, 2010, Lotto drawing.

It was a quick pick, so thank the computer, Don.

The winning numbers were 6, 21, 29, 36, 43 and 46.

“Everyone has imagined what it would be like to win the jackpot, but the reality is different,” said Lynn, a carpenter and avid Lottery player who’s been playing since 1974. “It hasn’t even hit me yet. I still can’t even conceive what it is like.”

Lynn went to a nearby retailer to check his ticket the Monday following the drawing as usual before heading to work. However, he was in for quite a shock when the cashier told him that he was the Lotto jackpot winner.

“I couldn’t believe it. I called my wife right away and told her not to go anywhere because I needed her to give me a ride downtown to claim the ticket,” Lynn continued.

That must have been a helluva ride.

Once Lynn claimed the ticket, he and his wife treated both of their parents to a nice lunch to tell them about their new found fortune. So far, Lynn has not decided what he and his family will do with the winnings.

Congratulations, guys. You’ve just changed the course of history of your family.

Invest your money wisely.
