One lucky Illinois Lottery player will have plenty of reason to celebrate this weekend, as a jackpot-winning ticket worth over $900,000 was sold at a convenience store in Oak Lawn, according to lottery officials.
The jackpot was for the "Fast Play Twenty 20s" game, a progressive jackpot Fast Play game. On this game, the jackpot begins at $50,000 and grows with each ticket sold until a jackpot is won.
The winning ticket, worth $902,096, was sold at 7-Eleven located at 4501 West 95th Street. The store will receive a bonus of just over $9,000, or 1% of the prize value, for selling the winning ticket.
"Fast Play Twenty 20s" can be played both online and in-store, and has netted Illinois players over $1.48 million in prizes during this month alone.
