An Illinois Lottery player is starting off the new year strong. No, not with a New Year’s resolution to hit the gym. The lucky player won a life-changing $10,000,000 top prize with the Illinois Lottery’s scratch-off game $10 Million. The $10 million winning scratch-off ticket was purchased at a Speedway gas station in South Elgin, located at 1775 North La Fox Street. This is also a big win for Speedway, as the South Elgin gas station will receive a selling bonus of one percent of the prize amount, or $100,000. The game had three $10 million top prizes. The first top prize was won by a lucky player who bought their winning ticket at Casey’s convenience store in Alton in May 2024. The second $10,000,000 top prize was scooped up in November 2024, after a player bought their winning ticket at Jewel-Osco in Countryside. In 2024, more than 64 million Illinois Lottery winning scratch-off tickets were sold, netting players over $1.64 billion in prizes. The Illinois Lottery currently offers a range of Instant Ticket games priced from $1 to $50, available at approximately 7,000 retail locations across Illinois.
