$5 Million Lottery Ticket Purchased in Springfield

One woman is now five-million dollars richer after purchasing a scratch-off lottery ticket.

Reports say it was a 500X that was purchased at the Kum & Go on North National Avenue near the Division Street intersection.

The woman says she bought the ticket because the color and design of it caught her eye.

She elected to remain anonymous, but said that she called her husband to celebrate once she determined it was real.
