Illinois Little Lotto Winner Margie Mason

Illinois Lottery has a pretty cool game called "Little Lotto." It's cool because the odds of winning the jackpot in the game are quite decent. The jackpots aren't as huge as they are in other games like Powerball or Mega Millions. However, they are decent enough. The jackpots in Little Lotto start at $100,000 and they continue to grow if they are not won. But get this - You are about 340 times more likely to win the Little Lotto jackpot than you are the Powerball jackpot if you buy just a single ticket for each game. That's why I like the Little Lotto game!

Margie Mason, who is pictured here, is one of the most recent Little Lotto winners. She won $325,000. She describes the moment that she found out that she won as shocking. She said that she always dreamed about winning the lottery and, now, it finally happened for her. She was so excited, that she even went to the salon to get her hair done before going in to Illinois Lottery's prize claim office to collect her winnings. After, all, she needed to look good for the inevitable pictures!

Margie Mason has some advice for other lottery players: "Just stick in there, you never know. Anybody can win." Good advice!

What does Margie plan to do with her winnings? Well, for starters, she has had her eye on a particular refrigerator for a while and, now, she plans on buying it. Besides that, she plans to pay off her bills and buy a used car.
