A stroke of luck hits an Illinois Lottery participant with a sudden fortune of a million dollars. A scratch-off ticket purchased at a local Speedway station on May Road, Peru by an unknown player turned out to be a golden ticket. This is the third time a player from Illinois Lottery’s exclusive $50 scratch-off, $10 Million game has hit the million-dollar jackpot. As a reward for playing a part in this unexpected windfall, Speedway will receive a neat sum of $10,000. This year, sales from instant tickets continue their ascent, with payouts exceeding $199 million.
