$100K Vaccine Lottery Winner Chosen In Schaumburg

SCHAUMBURG, IL — The fourth week of the Illinois Department of Health's "All In For The Win" vaccine lottery has a local winner. A person from Schamburg was chosen, along with residents of Macon County and Springfield, for a $100,000 prize.

The Illinois Department of Public Health will be notifying winners by phone or email starting Tuesday afternoon, according to a news release.

Illinoisans from those cities and counties should keep their phones on and check their emails regularly to find out if they’ve won. IDPH will call from 312-814-3524 and or email from DPH.communications@illinois.gov. No personal information will be requested in the initial phone or email notification.

Winners will have seven days to securely complete, sign and send the authorization form to IDPH to accept their prizes. The Illinois Lottery will then guide winners through the claims process. Winners will be announced eight days after each draw unless they choose to remain anonymous.

Over the last week, the state’s vaccination rate has been on the rise, according to the IDPH. The seven-day average this week has increased to 27,400 vaccinations per day, compared to 18,400 per day last week — a 49 percent increase week over week.
