VILLA PARK - Move over bingo night — this Illinois grandma just scored the ultimate win: $3 million from a lottery scratch-off.

What we know:

The winner, who is remaining anonymous but going by "Happy Grandma," claimed the top prize on the $30 Super Bonus instant ticket, according to Illinois Lottery officials.

"I usually buy the Crossword scratch-off, but something told me to try something different this time," said Happy Grandma. "When I saw the $3 million top prize on the Super Bonus ticket, I just knew it was meant to be. It felt like divine intervention."

Her lucky ticket was purchased at a BP gas station at 1 West St. Charles Road in Villa Park. The station will receive a $30,000 bonus, or 1 percent of the prize amount, lottery officials said.
