MARKHAM, IL A Markham woman is celebrating after she won $50,000 from an Illinois Lottery crossword scratch ticket, according to a news release from the Illinois Lottery.
When Bettina Taylor finished working for the day, she stopped at a Mobil gas station located at 1401 Torrence Ave., in Calumet City, to pick up a few instant lottery tickets before heading home, the release states. I had just finished work and was still in my uniform, when I got home I scratched the ticket and I couldn t believe it. I thought I was seeing stuff and that maybe I was sleepy! said Taylor, an essential medical worker.
