An Illinois town is buzzing with excitement after a local gas station sold a $3 million winning scratch-off ticket.
The winning 200X Payout Instant Ticket was purchased at the Woodhull BP gas station located at 111 NW 5th Street for $30. A lucky Illinois Lottery player scored the top prize of $3 million.
Woodhull has a population of 750 and is located 30 miles southeast of Moline and 65 miles northwest of Peoria.
For selling the winning ticket, the BP station will receive a cash bonus of one percent of the prize amount, in this case $30,000.
"I am so excited but still can’t believe it," Jennifer Damer, store manager at the BP in Woodhull said.
"It’s so surprising to me that our local, little gas station sold a ticket that won such a big prize."
