After reading about Clark Gas, a Loves Park gas station selling a winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket worth $400,000 a couple days back, I thought it might be fun to see who's won the big money and how much they walked away with (pre-tax).
As I look at an email I just got from the Illinois Lottery, I see that tonight's Powerball drawing has about $730 million reasons for you to consider playing. As the Illinois Lottery's Jessica Perez explains, "This is the fourth largest Powerball prize in game history and the sixth highest jackpot in U.S. lottery history."
Holy s***, I can't believe it happened. I just won a nearly-billion-dollar jackpot. What do I do now? And, what do I do first? Here's comes some expect advice.
If you were in Rochelle and purchased a Mega Millions lottery ticket on Tuesday, you better check those numbers again. The winning ticket was sold at a gas station there.
