Illinois Lottery Player In Total Disbelief Of Massive Jackpot Win: 'BOOM'

One fortunate Illinois iLottery player recently struck gold, and he still can't believe it.

The unnamed individual won $986,932 from the Fast Play Twenty 20s game on the Illinois Lottery app, announced by the Illinois Lottery on Friday (June 28), and the rest was history! The lottery player was just about to turn in for a nap when he decided to play a quick game on the iLottery app.

“I had just come in from walking the dog and was about to hit the hay when I decided to play a game on the Lottery app. That’s when - BOOM! - I won the jackpot. With this game, you find out right away if you win - but I didn’t believe it.” The man mentioned that he used to only buy physical lottery tickets, but not very often. The lucky winner would typically obtain a lottery ticket when he stopped for gas, but the iLottery app has opened new doors for him, and there's no turning back.

“I used to only buy lottery tickets when I’d stop for gas, but I like how convenient and fun it is to use the app. Plus, there’s no traffic." The recent lottery winner is currently planning a European trip with his family with the money he won using the app.
