Illinois Resident Wins $560 Million Mega Millions Jackpot
$6,000 Welcome Bonus
Check your lottery tickets, Illinoisans! Someone just won big money playing the Mega Millions this past Tuesday night.
I buy lottery tickets online because I get too anxious asking for a lotto ticket at the gas station. It paid off for one online player in Illinois, too!
They played the Mega Millions online and matched all six numbers:
19, 37, 40, 63, 69, 17
A jackpot of $560 million. If the winner decides to take the cash option, they'll receive roughly $264 million. Not a bad deal if all you had to spend was $2 for a ticket!
Now that's life-changing money. They haven't announced the winner's name and I highly doubt they'll show their face when they get their giant check.
Now that the jackpot is won, it'll reset to $20 million for the next drawing on Friday, June 7th. So, there’s still a chance to become a millionaire in the next draw!
Two other tickets also had big wins.
One in Maryland - matched all five white balls and won $1 million.
One in California - matched all five white balls and won $285,828.
Whether you buy your ticket in a store or online, you have a chance to hit the jackpot. The next drawing is just around the corner, and the prize is starting at $20 million. Who knows? Maybe the next big winner will be you.
What would be the first thing you buy when you get your jackpot winnings?
