Winning scratch-off ticket worth $10M sold at Rockford convenience store
For the second time this week, a scratch-off ticket worth millions was sold in Illinois, this time in Rockford.
The player is the first to win the top prize of $10 million after purchasing the $10,000,000 Bankroll scratch-off game at the Stop N Shop store at 2501 North Huffman Boulevard.
The game launched in November with three $10 million top prizes and 15 $1 million prizes.
The family-owned store that has been around for over 25 years is no stranger to selling tickets worth big bucks.
"We've sold a few big winning tickets before, ranging from $100,000 to $900,000," Manager Raj Patel said. "I kept saying 'The next one has to be a million-dollar winner,' but I never in a million years expected it to be worth $10 million!"
The store will also receive a selling bonus of one percent of the prize amount or $100,000.
Patel shared what he planned to do with the bonus.
"We're going to use a portion of the bonus to give back to our employees, who are such an important part of our success. We also plan to invest in some much-needed upgrades to the store. And this summer, we're hoping to host a fun celebration to thank our loyal customers—so stay tuned for that!"
The win comes after another player won $2 million after purchasing a $20 scratch-off ticket in Shorewood.
Lottery players must be 18 years of age to participate.
