Good thought, and how does anyone know these tickets really have a top prize ,i think the public has a right to know with verification. They reward as they profit and build the prize level from players.

Wow that was fast! Somebody must have shipped the wrong pallet at the warehouse ha ha!

This game just came out... Good for her!

I agree oldschool... There's another scratcher that's been out for almost 3yrs now... 1 jackpot winner so far, bet they pull that game soon before paying out the remaining 2 now that the win for life is back.

Congratulations, Michelle, on your HUGE Illinois Lottery scratch off jackpot win!

I sure was captivated by this game's top 3 prizes; upon noticing it a couple of weeks ago! I wondered how many months it would take for the 1st of the $15 million jackpot winners to reveal themself. Actually, I think this game is only two months old, so I find this big win rather quick

I hate the Illinois Lottery scratch off games. Although the top prize per game play cost beats practically ever other state, I have purchased more than my fair share of worthless pieces of card thick game pieces while winners have come from areas far away from where I live. I am especially suspicious of Illinois Lottery vendor Northstar discontinuing and pulling games that still have top prizes yet to be claimed or won. That makes me think they never had distributed the winning tickets in the fi... [ More ]
