Two ticket-holders matched all six numbers in Illinois` $24 million Lotto drawing, lottery officials reported Sunday.
The lottery computer showed two winners from Saturday`s drawing, but no one immediately came forward to claim the money, Lottery Director Sharon Sharp said. The winning numbers were 3-8-18-37-41-54.
The new millionaires will share the jackpot, each about $600,000 annually for 20 years.
The weekly prize, normally $5 million, had ballooned after two consecutive rollovers in which nobody matched all six numbers and a boost in sales due to the attention the rollovers received.
In addition to the grand prize winners, 309 players matched five of the six numbers to win $2,758 each, and 20,673 players matched four of six numbers to win $82 apiece.
Next weekend`s grand prize will be $5 million, Sharp said.
