Illinois Lottery Player Wins $1 Million Jackpot with 'Merry Multiplier' Scratch-Off Ticket

A festive surprise came early for an Illinois lottery player who recently struck gold with a $1 million jackpot from a "Merry Multiplier" scratch-off ticket.

This stroke of luck occurred after purchasing a $20 "Merry Multiplier" scratch-off ticket at Super Shopper Food Mart, situated on Chicago's South Side at 1351 W. 79th Street. Adding to the jubilation, the store that sold the winning ticket receives a bonus of one percent of the prize amount, amounting to $10,000.

The Illinois Lottery notes that 2023 has seen an impressive tally of over 54 million winning Instant Tickets across the state. In previous months, significant jackpot-winning Instant tickets were claimed in various Chicago suburbs, underscoring the widespread appeal of these lottery games. This news also follows earlier revelations about the Illinois Lottery's handling of Instant Games after top prizes had been won.
