Is 7 your lucky number? It certainly was for one Illinois Lottery player who hit it big on a 777 Jackpot scratch-off ticket, winning the top prize of $777,777.
The winning scratch-off ticket was purchased at a BP gas station, located at 4300 S. State St in Chicago. This is also a big win for the BP in Chicago, as they’ll receive a one percent selling bonus of $7,777.
So far in December, more than 5 million winning Illinois Lottery Instant Tickets have been sold, winning over $131 million in prizes.
The Illinois Lottery currently offers more than 50 different Instant Ticket games at over 7,000 retail locations across Illinois.
The Illinois Lottery reminds all players that lottery games are not for kids — never give a lottery ticket to a minor. For more information on how to play lottery games responsibly, please visit the Responsible Gaming page on the Illinois Lottery website.
