Former state school employee Gary Luckey, who retired in June 2016, saved $249,875 toward a pension over 34 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Luckey would collect as much as $4.77 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.

The projection assumes Luckey received $100,330 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Luckey will have already received $310,110 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
