Warren Kilmer has a new luck day. It's Aug. 8.

That's the day last week that he became the 100,000th customer at Matt’s TV in Tinley Park. The distinction also came with a few prizes.

Kilmer was surprised with an LG Network Blu-ray player, an LG Smart TV adapter, a Sycom surge protector, connecting cables and a gift certificate for $100 toward a new TV of his choice. He also took home a bag of munchies for his TV watching.

Store manager Walter Jones said the total value for all of the prizes was $500.

Matt's TV has been around for more than 50 years and has been at 17236 S. Oak Park Ave., in Tinley Park since 1971.

The store has been owned by , known as the Mayor of Oak Park Avenue, for the past eight years. He also runs his State Farm Insurance Agency from inside the store.
