WOW!!! Occasional player won a nice size amount. He and his fiance can pay for a nice wedding and buy a decent first home. Well Chicago, put a downpayment on one. LOL

the past couple years i've started playing the instys more than ever due to the fact i got a little juice off of them after having a couple of nice winners. that instant

gratification is a killer.

not buying that he only bought 3 tickets independently. but can't prove it. seems to be a stretch though. probably bought dozens in between, but it worked out for him. people buy these by the bushel around here but rarely hit. lottery knows they sell and flood the market with them as they are their biggest revenue producer. people rant and rave when they are sold out. actually takes a few minutes to play them if you do it without peeking.

Instant scratch off games are money machines. I see many players winning these things.

Congrats to the lucky winner. You can't win if you don't play.

Chicago man wins lottery three times in three weeks

Lottery Post — Thu, 24 Apr 2014 11:56:34 GMT

Three is a magic number, at least it might be for one Chicago resident.

Christopher Kaelin, an occasional lottery player, won the same lottery game three times in three weeks, officials announced Wednesday.

I never expected to win, Kaelin told Illinois lottery officials earlier this month, especially not three times.

Kaelin said his first win came during his lunch break when he bought a Crossword instant ticket at Gateway Newstand on Clark Street in Chicago and won $25,000.
