Illinois Gas Station Has Secret Millionaire Winner

Size doesn't matter when it comes to the size of gas stations in Illinois. Want proof of that? Here you go. A tiny Illinois gas station is now known to be the place where a mystery person just bagged one million dollars, but they don't seem to know it yet.

Does this gas station located at 8755 W 79th Street in Justice, Illinois look familiar to you?

According to the Illinois Lottery, something special just happened at this small gas station just a few days ago. Someone picked up a lotto ticket that is now worth $1,000,000. The problem is no one has stepped forward to claim it yet as this prize is now featured on their unclaimed jackpot and daily games site.

That makes two days in a row where someone in Illinois has won a million bucks, but not come forward to claim it. That mystery person still has plenty of time as you're allowed one calendar year to claim Illinois lottery money before it's withdrawn. This person may know of their newfound fortune and be talking to accountants, lawyers and other money handlers to make sure they're prepared. It's also entirely possible someone has a lotto ticket sitting in the floorboard of their car that they've forgotten about that is one million dollars waiting to be picked up. Time to check the couch cushions.
