Woman wins $3M on scratch-off ticket bought at Circle K in southwest suburbs

CHANNAHON, Ill. —  A woman from Morris won a whopping $3 million off a Illinois Lottery scratch-off ticket.

The winning ticket was purchased at a Circle K gas station, located at 26950 West Eames in Channahon.

“I still can’t believe this actually happened – to me!” exclaimed the winner, who has requested to remain anonymous. “Scratch-off lottery games are my favorite and my local gas station had a brand new game on display so I bought three tickets. After I scratched the third ticket, I was pretty sure I had won the top prize but I wasn’t 100% positive.”

The woman won the top prize on a $30 $3,000,000 Super Bonus scratch-off ticket, which launched in July.

The lucky winner said she plans to “Invest, remodel the house and travel – exactly in that order.”

For selling the winning ticket, the Circle K will receive a bonus of $30,000 which is one percent of the prize amount.
