(MAYWOOD) A west suburban woman won $1 million with a scratch-off lottery ticket.Terria McGee was at her Maywood home when she used a quarter to scratch the $1,000,000 Jumbo Bucks ticket and realized she’d hit the jackpot, according to a statement from the Illinois Lottery.

“I slowly checked over my ticket several times because I never, ever thought I would win a prize like this,” McGee said. She said she plans to use her winnings to pay bills, invest, buy a car and take her parents on a tropical vacation.

The Speedway gas station at 898 W. Ogden Ave. in Downers Grove will get a bonus of $10,000, or one percent of the prize amount, for selling the winning ticket.
