While Mega Millions and Powerball likely come to mind when players think of big wins, three lucky Illinois residents walked away with $1 million in winnings from the “$10 Million” instant scratch-off game, according to the Illinois Lottery.
The “$10 Million” game is the Illinois Lottery’s first $50 scratch-off ticket, with three $10 million top prizes remaining.
Two of the three million-dollar winners were purchased in Chicago, while the other was purchased upstate in Jacksonville.
Tickets were sold at the following locations:
According to the Illinois Lottery, the players are the seventh, eighth and ninth players, respectively, to win one of 15 available $1 million prizes.
The “$10 Million” game also gives players the best chance to win $500 of any lottery game in Illinois, the lottery said.
Each of the retailers who sold the winning tickets will receive a bonus of $10,000, or 1% of the total prize amount.
According to the Illinois Lottery, more than 22 million winning instant tickets have been sold so far in 2024, totaling more than $563 million in prizes.
