Someone who bought a lottery ticket in South Elgin is starting the new year a lot richer.

A winning Illinois Lottery ticket worth $10 million was bought at the Speedway gas station at 1775 North La Fox St., the lottery announced Saturday.

The Speedway receives a 1% selling bonus of $100,000.

The scratch-off game had three prizes of $10 million each; the first was won in Alton last May, the second was bought at Jewel-Osco in November in Countryside.

The lottery reports that more than 64 million winning scratch-off tickets, worth a total of more than $1.6 billion in prizes, were sold last year.

The Illinois Lottery currently offers a range of Instant Ticket games priced from $1 to $50, available at about 7,000 retail locations across Illinois.
