Landscape Designer Wins $1 Million Lottery Prize

ROUND LAKE, IL - A landscape designer has won big after purchasing a winning lottery ticket in recent weeks.

Jamison Fuller of Round Lake was at work when his wife sent him a text to let him know a store in the area had sold a $1 million Mega Millions Quick Pick ticket, according to an Illinois Lottery press release.

Fuller, who boys lottery tickets three to four times a month, said he went online to find the winning numbers from a May 10 drawing, which matched five numbers on his Quick Pick ticket.

He called his wife and shared the good news: They were $1 million richer, according to the news release.

“I finished my work day but it certainly was hard to concentrate,” Fuller said.

He plans to use the winnings to invest for retirement.

“I also plan to treat my parents to some nice things, starting with a new car,” he said.

Fuller bought his $1 million winning ticket at Circle K, 1991 West Maple Avenue in Mundelein, where he is a regular customer. Circle K received a bonus of $10,000, or one percent of the prize amount, for selling a winning ticket.
