CHICAGO (CBS) – Someone won nearly $1 million dollars after buying a Fast Play Twenty 20s ticket at a Chicago gas station over the weekend. 

The winning ticket is worth $979,168. It is also the game's largest jackpot.

The ticket was purchased on Saturday at a Shell gas station, located at 4800 N. Ashland Ave in Ravenswood. The retailer will receive a bonus of nearly $9,800, which is one percent of the prize amount for selling the ticket.

Two months ago, an iLottery player from Chicago won the now second-biggest Fast Play jackpot of nearly $925,000 playing the same game, according to Illinois Lottery.
