Even one month before Saint Patrick’s day arrived the state of Illinois had planned something that would generate ten million dollars. The idea behind the Illinois lottery St Patrick s day was that a total of half a million tickets would be produced with each one holding a specific serial number. Only those five-hundred-thousand tickets were sold for the Illinois lottery St Patrick s day and yesterday the draw was made on Saint Patrick’s day.
The ticket numbers for the Illinois lottery St Patrick s day have been released on the official website and the four lucky winners who won a million dollars each are 0024598, 0380890, 0315367 and 0079465. Two of the tickets were sold in the city of Chicago; one was sold in Morton Grove while the fourth winning ticket was sold in Waverly. So if any of you hold a ticket that has your unique number matching with either four of the above then hurry and claim your prize.
The chances of winning a million dollars for the average ticket holder were one in a hundred and twenty-five thousand which is not bad compared to the other near zero chances that are given through the regular lotteries. The people who won paid just twenty dollars for their tickets and through the sale of all half a million tickets the lottery organizers made a total of ten million dollars. There were five cash prizes of a hundred thousand dollars each as well which brought the chances of winning down to one in every one hundred thousand.
