Someone purchased the winning lottery ticket in Peoria Heights.

The ticket is worth 11 and a half million dollars.

The winning ticket for Monday night's Lotto Drawn was sold at the Heights BP on Prospect Road.

Tammy Roush works at the gas station.

She says, "The store gets 10 percent off the winnings. We're going to have a big party. My boss was in earlier and he said he was going to have it at his house. He was dumbfounded when I told him this morning."

She says no one has claimed the winning ticket so far.

The winning numbers... 6-13-15-23-37-39

OK, so because somebody bets money and wins, they should turn around and support you??? Sorry but that isn't the way it works buddy! Take the money and RUN far away from these free loaders
