일리노이의 한 여성이 평소 자주 가던 가게에서 복권을 구매했다.
그녀와 친분이 있던 가게 직원들도 그녀의 당첨을 진심으로 축하했다.

일리노이가 최근 100만 달러 단위의 잭팟 당첨자를 배출한 주 대열에 합류했다. 카먼(Carman)에 거주하는 다이애나(Diana) 씨가 '프레리 스테이트(일리노이주의 별칭)'에서 파워볼 100만 달러 상금의 주인공이 되었다.
파워볼 잭팟은 놓쳤지만, 100만 달러 당첨도 충분히 대단하다
당첨 복권을 들고 관례적인 기념사진을 촬영한 그녀는 4월 29일 추첨에서 3, 19, 35, 51, 67번으로 당첨의 영광을 안았다.
다이애나는 카먼의 하이웨이 34번 도로와 카먼 로드가 만나는 지점에 위치한 '에이어코 컨비니언스 센터(Ayerco Convenience Center)'에서 복권을 구매했으며, 해당 매장 역시 상금의 1%인 1만 달러의 보너스를 받게 되었다.
그녀는 당첨 소감에 대해 기꺼이 이야기를 나누며, 어떻게 이런 일이 일어났는지에 대한 몇 가지 소회와 뒷이야기를 들려주었다.
"믿을 수가 없었어요. 번호는 그냥 무작위로 골랐거든요." 다이애나는 과거에 소액 당첨을 경험한 적은 있지만, 100만 달러에 당첨된 것은 이번이 처음이라고 확인해주었다.
다이애나는 당첨 사실을 처음 실감했던 순간을 회상하며, 처음 소식을 접했을 때 친구에게 어떻게 알렸는지 이야기했다.
친구들과 함께하는 기쁨, 다음 목적지는 라스베이거스의 가족
그 친구의 반응은 어땠을까? 친구는 당첨 사실을 들었지만, 다소 회의적인 반응을 보였다고 한다. "장난치지 마, 나 피곤해." 친구가 이렇게 말했다고 한다.
다이애나는 당첨 사실을 숨기지 않았다. 그녀는 평소 친하게 지내던 에이어코 컨비니언스 센터 직원들에게도 이 소식을 알렸다.
"그곳 직원들과 친하게 지내는데, 제가 당첨됐다는 소식을 듣고 정말 기뻐해 줬어요."라고 그녀는 전했다.
하지만 당첨자인 그녀에게는 이미 계획이 있다. 그녀는 오랫동안 꿈꿔왔던 일을 실현하며 당첨을 기념할 예정이다. 바로 라스베이거스로 날아가 공군에 복무 중인 오빠를 만나는 것이다.

The Illinois woman bought the ticket at a shop she frequented
The store employees with whom she was a friend were happy for her

Illinois is joining the ranks of states to have recently minted a seven-figure jackpot winner, with one Diana of Carman , scooping a $1-million prize from the Powerball in the Prairie State.
Missing the Powerball Jackpot – That’s Alright, a $1M Win Still Counts
The winner, who posted for the customary photo-op, holding the winning ticket, won the draw on April 29 and won with 3 , 19 , 35 , 51 , and 67 as her numbers.
Diana bought her ticket at the Ayerco Convenience Center, located at Highway 34 and Carman Road in Carman, with the shop also now getting a $10,000 bonus, or 1% of the value of the prize.
She was rather happy to chat about the win , too , offering a few words and extra insight into how it all came to be:
“I couldn’t believe it. I picked these numbers randomly,” Diana said, and confirmed that she had won smaller prizes in the past, but this was most certainly the first time she won a million dollars.
Diana recounted the first moments she was coming to grips with her reward, telling a friend what had happened when she first found out.
Winning Among Friends – Heading to Family in Las Vegas Next
The friend? They were open to the idea but were obviously a little skeptical: “ Come on now, quit playing with me — I’m tired ,” the friend said.
Diana did not withhold the win either; she told the people at the Ayerco Convenience Center , with whom she was a friend.
“ I’m friends with the staff there, and they were thrilled when they found out I won ,” she recounted.
But the winner already has a plan, and she will fittingly celebrate her win by realizing a dream she has had for a while – flying to Vegas and visiting her brother, who is stationed at the Air Force.
