LINDA "THE LUNCH LADY": DRAG SHOW PERFORMER
Elgin’s own Linda “The Lunch Lady” went from cafeteria legend to stage sensation after stepping into the spotlight at an amateur drag competition at The Hemmens last year. Since then, she’s been serving star power, hometown pride, and plenty of personality wherever she goes.

Chicago entertainer Mark Love is living his dream as a full-time performer, bringing fresh energy, bold style, and a deep love for the art of drag to every performance. Now appearing across Chicago’s vibrant drag scene, he brings confidence and a rising presence to the Lottery Event.
