CHICAGO (CBS) – One lottery player in Harwood Heights celebrated St. Patrick's Day weekend by becoming a millionaire.

The player purchased the $20 "Illinois Jackpot" scratch-off ticket at a Shell gas station at 4555 North Nagle Ave after stopping on his way home from work and won the jackpot of $2 million.

The anonymous player called the owner of the gas station his "lucky charm."

It's the second big win for the station. 

The same Shell station sold a $600,000 winning scratch-off ticket in November 2022, according to lottery officials.
