Illinois man uncovers $1 million scratch-off win

Amalio Suarez Gonzalez of Schaumburg, Ill. took a chance on a $10 scratch-off and won a $1 million prize.

Gonzalez bought his lucky Jumbo Bucks ticket from Handy Mart on North Breazeale Avenue in Mount Olive.

When Gonzalez arrived at lottery headquarters Tuesday, he had a decision to make. He could choose to receive the prize as an annuity of $50,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. He chose the lump sum of $600,000 and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $427,503.

The Jumbo Bucks game debuted in June with seven top prizes of $1 million. Four $1 million prizes remain to be claimed.

I guess if you got it you got it!!! Lived here my entire life, play every month and never won a dime over $500 ONE time. Usually only get my money back or sink. Out-of-towners have better luck than lifelong residents. LOL. I buy only $20 or $30 tickets but i only budget a certain amount to play with each month. Maybe that’s the problem. LOL. I am very happy for you regardless!!!
