One lucky Illinois Lottery player will be celebrating Christmas $500,000 richer.
The winning ticket was purchased at Shaws Marketplace, located at 214 Washington St. in Prophetstown.
"What a great way to celebrate Christamas," said Evelyn Fouts, Manager of Shaws Marketplace. "I don’t know who bought the winning ticket but Prophetstown is a tiny town with less than 2,000 people - we don’t even have a stoplight - so the probability that it’s someone from our hometown is highly likely."
"I’ve been with this store for nearly 20 years and I’ve experienced many lottery jackpot celebrations, however, this is the largest winning ticket we’ve ever sold here - it’s pretty magical," exclaimed Fouts.
