1h40m is within the Minimum Connection Time, but not the Sensible Connection Time, for I-D at ORD, connecting to the last flight of the day.

hope that I hit the misconnect lottery. Why wouldn't I?

Well, because the OP seemed not to want to get stuck in ORD.

Yeah, I've yet to hit the lottery either.
