Glen Ellyn resident wins $1 million from Illinois Lottery instant ticket
and encourages others to stay hopeful Glen Ellyn, IL January 17, 2008


Viswanathan Puthenmadom must be the luckiest man around.In March of 2006 he won $2 million from an Illinois Lottery instant ticket, and
recently won another $1 million from the Double My Million instant ticket.
Puthenmadom, an IT manager, was on his way to work when he decided to stop at a
local convenience store to cash in on a small winning he received from a Lotto drawing the
previous evening. Before leaving, he purchased a couple of instant tickets, which he now buys
frequently after winning in 2006. He enjoys playing the $10 and $20 instant tickets the most
because he feels the odds are better. As it turned out, the odds were in his favor and both
tickets purchased that day resulted in a win for Puthenmadom. The first ticket prize amount
was $20, while the second ticket gained him an additional $1 million. Although this is
Puthenmadom’s second time winning the Illinois Lottery, he said he has remained pretty
composed given the circumstances.
