A Mount Prospect guy wins $3 million recently in scratch off lottery game

An Illinois Lottery player won $3 million on a scratch-off ticket bought in the northwest suburbs.

According to Illinois Lottery officials, the $30 Cash Fortune scratch-off was purchased at a BP gas station, located at 1625 East Euclid Drive in Mount Prospect.

“This is such happy news,” exclaimed Benny Lukose, Manager at BP in Mount Prospect. “While we sell a lot of lottery tickets, I can definitely recognize our regular customers – so I bet I’ll know the winner.

I hope the lucky winner stops in to tell us, so we can share in the excitement of their big win!” Lottery officials said the Mount Prospect gas station will receive a $30,000 cash bonus for selling the winning ticket.

“This couldn’t have come at a better time,” expressed Lukose. “Business can be slow at times due to competitors, so with this bonus, we plan to use it to cover some business expenses.
