Jackpot hopefuls were lined up for hours to play a special game for an extra shot at $1 billion. CBS 2’s Lauren Victory visited a lottery dealer on the Southwest Side called the Lucky Mart on 87th Street, and found out it lives up to its name.

Chicago Sports Events Culture

With a population of nearly 3 million people, Chicago is the third largest city in the United States. This diverse city is also known as the “City in a Garden.” Its love of sports is well documented, and it has been ranked among the world’s top 15 sport cities for three consecutive years. The city has also hosted multiple high-profile sporting events, including the All-Star Games and NCAA championships. There are also many volunteer opportunities, especially for sports enthusiasts, with the Chicago Sports Commission.

This year’s Chicago Bears have had a rough start to their season, losing all of their games at home. However, that hasn’t stopped fans from showing up for the game. In fact, a video of Jay Cutler’s jersey being burned on social media the week before the game had no effect on attendance. As a result, Soldier Field is usually sold out. And fans are fiercely loyal.
