Romeoville Gas Station Sells $1 Million Winning Lottery Ticket

A gas station in Romeoville saw a fortunate individual strike it rich with a $1 million winning lottery ticket purchase at Thortons, located at 400 N. Independence Blvd.

Despite their usual experience of regulars returning to share their wins, the station hasn't heard from any customer claiming the ticket yet.

Speculation arises that the winner might be someone from a nearby oil refinery, which employs numerous workers from various areas.

It's possible that someone from the refinery bought the ticket during their commute and hasn't yet revealed their good fortune.

In recognition of selling the winning ticket, the station will receive a bonus of one percent of the prize amount, totaling $10,000.

The mystery of the lucky winner continues to intrigue the station and the community.
