Lady Luck hits it big with a $2,000,000 win in Illinois, and she can hardly believe her fortune.

Lady Luck herself, the woman was upfront about her win. She had purchased the ticket at ZJ’s Pantry Plus Liquors, located at 699 N. Wolf Rd. in Des Plaines, Illinois. As a bonus for selling the winning ticket, the store will receive $20,000.

"Illinois woman wins $2M prize"

Lady Luck herself, the woman was upfront about her win. She had purchased the ticket at ZJ’s Pantry Plus Liquors, located at 699 N. Wolf Rd. in Des Plaines, Illinois. As a bonus for selling the winning ticket, the store will receive $20,000. The winner found it hard to believe what had happened. Despite being a regular player and a frequent visitor to that store, she just couldn’t grasp her good fortune, though it wasn’t the first time she'd scored big in a lottery game. She previously won a $10,000 prize, but the $2,000,000 is her first time securing a top prize outright. A routine lottery winner, she followed the same ritual: buying a ticket and then returning home before scratching it off.

"It's her first time winning such a large sum."

For the first time, her instincts urged her to act differently, prompting her to check her ticket on the spot. It turned out she had won. Usually, I wait until I'm home, but something made me scratch off the ticket right then and there. I was in shock when I saw all those zeros, said Lady Luck. Of course, I scanned it to be sure it was a winner. I even asked my brothers to double-check so I knew I wasn't just seeing things, she added. Now, she's determined to treat herself, starting with a trip to the Big Apple. She hasn't shared any other plans yet, but like most lottery winners, she's likely to set some money aside and contemplate other indulgences.
