“I’m going to pay my bills, make wise investments, and maybe take a vacation,” David Martinez, 60, said after winning, according to the Illinois Lottery.
Martinez was at a Citgo gas station at 3419 Grand Ave. in Gurnee for hot chocolate when he decided to buy a $20 Merry Millionaire scratch ticket, the lottery said. He scratched the ticket later that day and discovered he won $2 million.
