Diane from Round Lake Beach, IL Wins $80,000 on Peppermint Payout

2/1 - Diane Hope - Lawrence Chang

Each year for Christmas, Diane’s mom gifts her family members $30 each in Illinois Lottery holiday-themed Instant Tickets. Diane and her husband kicked off Christmas Eve by scratching the (many) holiday tickets they received from her mom.

After a while, she got tired of all the scratching and turned to the Illinois Lottery app on her phone to scan the tickets’ barcodes and check for any wins. Imagine her surprise when the following message popped up on her screen: “Congratulations! You won $80,000.”

Shocked, Diane did a double take but still didn’t believe it, so she scanned the ticket one more time – and got the same response. She exclaimed to her family, “Oh my gosh, I think I won $80,000” — to which her son said, “No way. Let me scratch it to make sure.”

As it turned out, her son double checked and found it was true! Diane had all the winning numbers, so she took home the top prize of $80,000. What a way to celebrate the holidays!

And of course, Diane couldn’t forget her mom, who gifted her the winning ticket. She called her mom first thing on Christmas morning to share the news, and her mom was so happy for her. Diane even offered to split the prize with her, but her mom wouldn’t allow it.

Instead, Diane did something much more meaningful. She treated her mom to a few special surprises – buying her a new battery for her car, paying off a hefty vet bill, and gifting her mom’s dogs a grooming spa day.

Congratulations on your spectacular holiday prize, Diane!
