Suburban Man a Millionaire After Winning Lottery Jackpot

A suburban man is a millionaire after winning the grand prize in an Illinois Lottery scratch-off game.

Indian Head Park resident Zeraldas Usonis won a $2 million prize in the “Multi-Millionaire” scratch-off game, the Lottery announced Wednesday.

Usonis, who purchased the ticket at a gas station in the southwest suburb, says that he will buy a house and will expand his charitable acts to help the less fortunate around the holidays.

“Good people always win!” Usonis said.

The Holler House opened in 1908, but didn't get its present moniker until 1975 when an angry neighbor complained about the racket at the "holler house."
