Nice little consolation prize for the business.

An employee at the Speedway gas station on East Touhy Avenue in Des Plaines, Illinois, confirmed to FOX Business Saturday the business had gotten the call about the winning ticket from the Illinois Lottery.
"So, obviously it's a shock, but I'm happy that somebody from Illinois was able to win it," the employee said.

According to the Illinois Lottery, businesses receive a 1% commission on jackpot and top prize drawings and scratch games up to $500,000.
In addition, they would receive a 1% commission for all winning ticket redemption, 5% commission on all Instant Ticket Sales and 5% commission on all Draw game sales.
Nice little consolation prize for the business.

I didn’t know they did that. Pretty cool. Hopefully the employee who made the sale gets a nice reward.

Yep. Louisiana Lottery does it too. As much as I fricking despise getting behind someone buying lottery tickets, those MFers pay the bills for mom and pop gas stations.
They get a cut of every ticket sale, winning tickets purchased there, as well as a % of winnings they pay out/redeem.

illinois is in such bad shape financially, that they may give the winner an IOU
That article is from 2015. Also this

Lottery winners can’t expect payment until the state passes a budget. The state has been without a budget since July 1,
That doesn’t mean you’re wrong about liberal policy destroying the finances of this state.

Since the “winning” ticket was “purchased” in Illinois, there’s a good chance we hear about a massive scheme to defraud the public in a few years.
Wouldn’t shock me if Beetlejuice itself was involved.

Winning ticket sold 30 minutes from me. I pass that gas station often.
Could have been me.

Illinois doesn't pay multistate lottery games out of pocket

I miss Speedway gas stations

I live near the one in SC that won it a few years ago. The owner got arrested around Christmas for not paying taxes. It is a pretty penny but you can’t give a fool that much money.
