Lotto jackpot grows to $16.55M – surpassing previous record

CHICAGO (CBS) – It's a new month, and for one lucky player, it could mean a new millionaire.

 Tonight's Lotto jackpot is now up to $16.55 million.

 If someone happens to win that prize, they will surpass the last record-setting jackpot of $16.5 million.

 A couple of players in Romeoville and Oak Forest have since won $1 million in April, but the jackpot continued to increase.

Lotto is played three times a week on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
