On January 29, the Illinois Lottery created another millionaire, marking the third winner in the past two weeks.
The winning Lotto Million 1 ticket was purchased by the individual at Stop 24 Liquors in Bolingbrook.
Lotto Millions 1 and 2
The Lotto Million 1 introduces a new line to the current selection of lottery options.
Illinois residents have three chances to win the jackpot with a $1 ticket, instead of just one.
A ticket with all six matching numbers wins the jackpot in the initial drawing of the traditional lottery.
After the standard gathering comes the following two illustrations, Lotto Millions 1 and Lotto Millions 2. Players use the same tag for all three.

In April 2021, the Illinois Lottery introduced the Lotto Millions 1 and 2 drawings. In 2022, residents of Illinois have been experiencing a successful streak of million-dollar wins.
Two lottery winners in the Chicago area hit within five days before the most recent winning ticket was sold in Bolingbrook.
Lotto Million 2 was drawn on Monday, with the winning ticket sold at King Supermarket on E. 41st St. Another ticket purchased at Johnson’s Lighthouse Pointe and Car Wash in Villa Park later that week also won the $1 million jackpot.
The manager of Johnson & rsquo, Lighthouse Pointe, and Car Wash told the Illinois Lottery that he is uncertain about the winner of the ticket, but he is hopeful that it is someone from the local area.
Who stands to gain from the Illinois Lottery?
The funds generated from Illinois Lottery ticket sales primarily support the Common School Fund, but also contribute to various other projects in the state.
Several distinctive fast games contribute funds to HIV research and support Illinois veterans. Additionally, the revenue generated within the state helps fund various support system initiatives.
A remarkable month
In 2021, Illinois Lottery sales reached record levels with residents purchasing $2.2 billion in scratch-off tickets and $1.2 billion in draw-based games such as Lotto Millions 1 and 2.
As a result, a total of $762 million was allocated to the Common School Fund for 2021 from the record sales amount.
In 2021, people won $2.3 billion in medals, and it was not just schools that benefited from this historic achievement.
A resident of Crestwood claimed a $56 million prize, becoming the largest single jackpot winner in Illinois since 2017.
Merchants who sell winning reservations prosper.
Traders who offer a successful solution receive an extra advantage.
Stop 24 Liquors owners Dashank and Mixa Desai were awarded a $10,000 bonus, equivalent to 1% of their total earnings. The proprietors of King’s Supermarket, Johnson vs. Johnson, Lighthouse Pointe, and Car Wash also received bonuses.
Retailer bonuses serve as motivation to sell Illinois Lottery tickets, says Joel Johnson, manager of Johnson’s. He finds the bonus money to be a welcome relief.
The timing of the selling bonus was perfect. We will allocate most of the funds towards paying off debts accumulated during the COVID pandemic.
