“New Year New Me” might just be the case for one Illinois Lottery player after winning a jaw-dropping $3,600,000 on an Illinois Lottery scratch-off ticket.
The winning ticket, 20 Years of Cash, was purchased at a CVS pharmacy, located at 3950 W. Devon Ave. in Lincolnwood, about 10 miles north of downtown Chicago.
With the 20 Years of Cash $10 scratch-off ticket, players can win up to $25,000 per month for 20 years. However, this lucky winner chose a one-time cash payment of $3.6 million.
This is also an exciting win for CVS in Lincolnwood, as the store will receive a selling bonus of one percent of the prize amount, or $36,000.
Overall in 2023, Illinois Lottery players purchased over 67 million winning scratch-off tickets, netting players nearly $1.5 billion in prizes.
The Illinois Lottery encourages all winners to write their name on the back of their ticket and keep it in a safe place until they’re ready to claim their prize. Winners should visit IllinoisLottery.com/winning for more information on how to claim their prize.
