Kevin Weaver, of Fairview, bought the $1 million winning scratch-off ticket at County Market, 1090 E. Fort St. in Farmington, Illinois."I scratched the ticket in my truck in the parking lot of County Market, and I was in complete shock when I saw that I had won a million dollars," Weaver said. "I immediately called my wife, Paula, to tell her the news.
Weaver said he plans to use his winnings to take his wife to Aruba, where he initially planned to propose."After discussing with Paula how we want to spend our winnings, we thought about how she often drives our grandkids around everywhere. It would be nice to treat her to a new minivan so that she can do it in style – happy wife, happy life," Weaver said.County Market will receive a bonus of $10,000 for selling the winning ticket.
