Illinois Lottery in the business of minting millionaires
In the Prairie State, creating millionaires seems to be a frequent occurrence. In May, a player celebrated with a photo opportunity, earning the nickname King of the Castle, after winning $1,348,786 while playing Cash Castle. This winner is not alone, however. By the end of May, another player captured a remarkable $1,673,909 in the Ultimate Diamond Jackpot, marking one of the biggest jackpots in the lottery's history. Yet, even these impressive victories are overshadowed by a staggering $10,000,000 win by a player in Illinois. This luck-struck individual bought a scratch-off ticket at the Stop N Shop on 2501 North Huffman Boulevard in Rockford. While their identity remains private, they did claim their prize.
