The winner, who is remaining anonymous and using the name "Rex," purchased the winning ticket at Joe's Tobacco and Vape & Phone Repair Shop, located at 1945 W. Galena Blvd. in Aurora for the September 3 drawing.
"I woke up the next day after the drawing, had my second cup of coffee, and suddenly remembered to check the numbers," Rex said. "It took a whole day to sink in. I triple-checked my ticket and even scanned it at the store where I bought it. I barely slept that night - my blood pressure was through the roof!"
The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
Rex said he is a life-long car enthusiast and plans to use the prize money to buy a new car and share gifts with loved ones.
