Lucky Ticket in East Alton Scores $1 Million Illinois Lottery Prize

Just imagine walking into your regular corner store to grab snacks and drinks, and maybe a lottery ticket.  Then, you end up walking away with a million dollars!  Yeah, it really happened... again!

The winner hasn't come forward yet, but as soon as they do it sounds like they're going to celebrate big at the store!  The owner is excited to see this win, and it's the biggest prize sold at his store in six years, despite having winning tickets over the years.

The owner said he'd love to give back to his employees with the bonus they receive for selling the winning ticket, plus he might just close the store for a day and take everyone out for a fun outing together!  Reinvesting in the business and upgrading the exterior of the store is also on his list, so it looks more inviting to customers.
