“Our store is buzzing with excitement,” store manager Heather Wiese said. “Since the word got out that we sold the big prize ticket, that’s all everyone is talking about.”
The person who won the drawing has not come forward to claim their prize, but has one year from the date of the drawing to do so. More information on what to do if you win a prize can be found on the Illinois Lottery website.
