After the results of Friday night\u2019s lottery draw, reports came in of a winning ticket having been bought in a suburb of Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>The winner has a choice of taking a lump sum payment that would total around $740 million or an annuity payment, which would pay the entire amount over a 30-year period. The winner has not come forward yet, but the ticket was confirmed to have been purchased at a gas station in Des Plaines.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe had a total of little bit over $71 million in sales and roughly half of that will go towards paying all of the prizes associated with those tickets,\u201d said Harold Mays, Director of Illinois Lottery. \u201cAnd that\u2019s roughly $26 million that will come back to Illinois to help fund schools, to the common school fund. So, it\u2019s a significant sort of impact from that perspective.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83e\udd11 \ud83d\udcb0 \ud83c\udf89  Winner Alert: Mega Millions\u00ae players, check your ticket!
