- An Illinois man, referred to as “Lucky,” won $1 million on a scratch-off lottery ticket purchased at a gas station in Lombard, DuPage County.
- Lucky bought the winning $50 Millionaire Club ticket during a work break earlier this month and claimed his prize on April 10. “I just celebrated my birthday a few weeks ago, so this win feels like the perfect gift,” he said. “It’s especially exciting since I bought the ticket at a store I visit regularly.”
- This is not his first lottery success, as he has previously won approximately 20 smaller prizes ranging from $1,000 to $5,000.
- He intends to use his winnings to purchase a new home, update his wardrobe, and invest in his family's future.
- The Mobil gas station where the ticket was bought will receive a $10,000 retailer bonus, and the winnings are subject to Illinois' 4.95 percent income tax.
