3 People in Illinois Suddenly Millionaires, But Don’t Know It Yet

For many, this new year has been a financial struggle, but for three people in Illinois, that's no longer a problem as they are suddenly millionaires. There's just one big problem. They don't seem to know it yet.

I think if we're being honest with ourselves, each of us has daydreamed about waking up with untold riches we didn't see coming. Wouldn't it be nice to not have to live paycheck-to-paycheck and be able to travel and truly enjoy your life? There are now 3 people in Illinois that can enjoy that reality, but they need to do something first. They need to get the money that is rightly theirs now.

According to the Illinois Lottery's unclaimed prizes page, there are 3 winners in Illinois that have not come forward and claimed their winnings. They all won a million dollars or more. If you have been to any of these 3 Illinois places and picked up a lottery ticket, you need to check it now.

Any of those Illinois locations ring a bell? I have no doubt that some lottery winners take some time to hire a lawyer and accountant before stepping forward to claim prizes, but I would guess that especially the winners from September and December of last year have winning tickets and have no clue they're potential millionaires.

If you are one of these 3 Illinois people, remember us tiny folks when you county your winnings.
