An Aurora woman who recently won $1 million from a lottery scratch-off ticket is using her windfall to help others.
Antoinette "Toni" Green shared her plans to pay it forward after winning the prize on a MONOPOLY 50X scratch-off ticket."I’ve given away over $100,000 already," Green told the Illinois Lottery . "When I was blessed with this prize, I knew I was finally in a position to give back, to help my friends and family, and to pay it forward."Green purchased the winning $10 ticket from Ruby's Liquor, located at 1535 Butterfield Road in Aurora .
"The other day I overheard a young woman who could only afford a gallon of gas, and I paid the clerk to fill up her tank. It’s not about what you can do for yourself, but what you can do for others."Ruby's Liquor owner Anup Singh recounted the excitement at his store when Green won."Toni has won a few smaller prizes here and actually claimed our store as her ‘lucky store’ – she’s been coming regularly ever since," Singh said.
