An Illinois Lottery player is off to a strong start to 2025 after winning the $10 million top prize on a scratch-off ticket purchased at a South Elgin gas station.
According to lottery officials, the ticket, which is part of the “$10 Million” scratch-off game, was purchased at the Speedway, located at 1775 North La Fox Street.
The big win marks Illinois’ first multi-million dollar victory in 2025, while also netting South Elgin Speedway a whopping $100,000 bonus, comprising 1% of the prize money.
Last year, players won more than $1.64 billion in prizes from more than 64 million winning scratch-off tickets, lottery officials said.
This win also marks the third of three $10 million prizes in the game. The first of three prizes was purchased in Upstate Alton, located outside of St. Louis, in May 2024, according to lottery officials.
The second grand prize was then won in November 2024 at a Jewel-Osco in the suburbs.
