Vernon Hills man wins $1 million lottery prize
A Vernon Hills man says he plans to pay bills and do some investing with the $1 million he won this month in the Illinois Lottery St. Patrick's Day Millionaire Raffle.
Christopher Gluck bought the winning ticket at 7-Eleven, 145 E. Town Line Road, in Vernon Hills. 7-Eleven received a bonus of $10,000, 1 percent of the prize amount, for selling the winning ticket.
"I always buy a raffle ticket because it offers the best odds for winning a million dollars, but I never imagined I would beat those odds and win," Gluck said in a news release. The other winning tickets were purchased at a Speedway in Darien and Good News Gas & Food in Rolling Meadows.
