Mystery Winner Claims $3 Million Mega Millions Prize in Illinois
A mystery winner has scooped a $3 million Mega Millions prize in Illinois. The ticket, purchased on Tuesday, October 21, remains unclaimed. Officials are now waiting for the lucky player to come forward.
The winning numbers—2, 18, 27, 34, 59, with a Mega Ball of 18—were drawn in the latest Mega Millions game. The prize tripled to $3 million thanks to a 3X multiplier option chosen by the buyer.
The ticket was bought at Bus Valley Trio, a convenience store at 5301 Bull Valley Road in McHenry. As a reward for selling the winning ticket, the shop will receive a $30,000 bonus. Illinois has a history of producing major lottery winners. However, this latest winner has yet to be identified or claim their prize.
The clock is ticking for the anonymous winner to step forward. Once claimed, the $3 million jackpot will be paid out in full. The store's bonus, meanwhile, is guaranteed regardless of when the prize is collected.
