Time to dig through your wallet, desk drawers and every pair of pants you have worn since last night (hey, some people lead exciting lives). According to mystateline.com, the Illinois Lottery is looking for the $450,000 winner of last night's Lucky Day Lotto drawing. The winning ticket was sold at Kishwaukee Citgo, 2233 Kishwaukee Street in Rockford.

The winning numbers are: 01 - 18 - 22 - 28 - 29. If you're the winner, feel free to spend even more on me for the holiday's this year.

Funny lottery story. In the late '80s, I dated a lovely girl who lived with her parents. As we were watching local news on one of the Chicago TV stations, they announced the winning lottery numbers. Lo and behold, the showed my girlfriend's parent's lucky numbers. The ones they played every week, without fail. And yes, they did play this particular week. They were delirious and you could see the dollar signs appear in the their eyes. This was the big Lotto drawing too, for millions. And I was in good graces. Everything was coming up Brizz. Until we noticed that they were showing the winning numbers for the Indiana lottery. To quote Ron Burgundy,

What a burn. Sadly, we broke up a few months later for reasons that had nothing to do with her parent's lottery letdown. Her dad was a very nice guy and I really liked him. Her mom hated my guts. Yeah, me!!! Do you believe that?

However, Lori burned me once too...
