If you had $8.3 million to spend right now, would you blow it on a mansion in Illinois?

Imagine winning nearly nine million dollars on a lottery ticket and suddenly having all this money to spend on your dream home.  The possibilities would be endless - marble countertops, a double winding staircase right when you walk in, and the largest walk-in closet you've ever seen.

You could move anywhere with that amount of money and build your home from the ground up.  Where would you move to and what would be the #1 feature you'd drop the most money on inside your dream home?

If I splurged on mine, there would definitely be an infinity pool and tons of windows for the best lighting when I make TikToks!  Never thought I'd say that in my life lol.

Location really does matter, too.  Illinois offers a mix of urban and suburban lifestyles. The question still stands, though: does the charm of the property justify the cost of $8.3M or is it just a symbol of your wealthy status?

Most people probably wouldn't move to Illinois if they won the lottery, but some people are totally cool with living in the Midwest.  That includes celebrities and their families!

According to Juice WRLD's mom, it's totally justified.  She $8.3M on a 17,000 square foot estate in Illinois. It's the most expensive home in Burr Ridge, Illinois.

It's gorgeous and embodies everything a basketball enthusiast dreams of.  A full basketball court inside your house?  What a luxury to have!

The court has its own private entrance so guests don't scuff up the floors throughout the rest of the house and it's 30 feet below ground.  Insane!
