THIS HOLIDAY SEASON IS BRIGHT WITH A CHECK FOR $1,000,000 FOR A TISKILWA FAMILY
December 18, 2011
Roxanna Nye of Tiskilwa is the newest million dollar winner from the Illinois Lottery’s $200,000,000 Cash Spectacular instant game. Roxanna bought her ticket on December 3rd at Beck Oil in Princeton.
Roxanna’s daughter, Mollie, accepted an oversized, commemorative check today from, Illinois Lottery Superintendent Michael Jones at the Thompson Center on her mother’s behalf.
After Roxanna bought her ticket, she went to her car as she always does to scratch her tickets and had to do a triple check because she couldn’t believe it. She immediately called her husband, “I was so excited and freaking out that he thought I crashed the car,” Nye said. Her favorite instant game is Bingo, but just happened to have purchased the $200,000,000 Cash Spectacular game that day and was very happy that she did.
Roxanna opted to take a lump sum payment of $600,000, but hasn’t decided on what to do with her winnings.
“It’s still very hard to believe,” Nye said.
Beck Oil will receive a $6,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
