A Freeburg, Illinois woman wins $50,000 on an Illinois lottery scratch ticket.

Rhonda Pour stopped at the Belleville Circle K for gas and decided to buy a $3 Keno ticket. The ticket proves out to be lucky for Rhonda. She now plans to visit her daughter in the U.S. Air Force after winning the big prize.

“When I saw how much I won, I started shaking and crying,” Rhonda said to Illinois Lottery officials. “I was in the right place at the right time!”

The Circle K, at 755 S. Belt West, also received $500 as 1 percent commission for selling the winning ticket.  Moreover, the Keno Lottery game still has two $50,000 prizes to be claimed.
