While visiting a local store named Dominick’s, Anel Bajtarevic was attracted to the signs on a lottery ticket machine that advertized $20,000 a week for 20 years; he bought a ticket from the machine, which had only been installed at the store a month earlier and won bigtime.
The 26 year old man from Chicago set the record for winning the biggest instant lottery prize ever in Illinois; Anel Bajtarevic won a huge sum of $20.8 million.
