A Clinton resident is the winner of a one-million-dollar Illinois lottery ticket it was sold right here in Clinton at Big D Food and Liquor.

Owner Francis Jackson tells Regional Radio it's a great honor to have another big winner sold at their store and says it was sold to a gentleman that is a regular player of the lotto at Big D.

For Big D, selling lotto-winning tickets is not anything new. Jackson says they consistently have smaller dollar winners and back in the late 90s they even sold a $4-million winner. He indicates the store gets a small portion of the winnings and they've been able to do some nice things to the storefront and even the community. 

Jackson indicates they have about 45 scratch-off lottery games available at Big D as well as all the online games.
