A grateful Illinois native is now millions of dollars richer after purchasing a scratch-off ticket at the Bellwood Liquor and Grocery, located off St. Charles Road in Bellwood.

According to Illinois Lottery, the excited individual purchased a $30 "Cash is King" scratch-off ticket, and won a whopping $3 million!

"I scratched off the ticket while I was still at the convenience store. I thought I read the ticket wrong. I had the cashier verify it for me and he said 'Congratulations!' It was so shocking. My heart was pounding and I immediately started to sweat. I couldn’t believe it!" The anonymous winner proceeded to race home and tell his loved ones the unbelievable news.

"I was so surprised and I needed to rush home. I was in such a hurry, I ran out of the store and almost headed home, forgetting my truck in the parking lot!" The fortunate individual plans to pay off some of his bills and buy a few of his family members new cars, joking:

"First, I want to pay off our mortgage and my car. Next, my wife wants a new car and my son needs a new car. New cars for everybody!" Information regarding the identity of the winner has not been revealed as the lucky lottery player enjoys his prize.
