A Central Illinois woman is a quarter of a million dollars richer after purchasing a winning scratch-off lottery ticket.
Lisa Tyrrell bought the ticket at Jumpin’ Jimmys in Litchfield
Tyrrell is a taxi driver and a regular customer at the store, where she says has purchased the crossword-themed scratch-off lottery tickets from time to time.
Tyrrell says she plans to use the money to buy her own car and a house. She also says she has eight grandkids and she is wants to be able to spoil them a little bit.
This isn’t the first time the retailer has sold a big winning lottery ticket. In June 2016, Jumpin’ Jimmys sold a woman a $75,000 winning scratch-off ticket.
