Read the following excerpt from a US court opinion:
```
Act.” 815 ILCS 525/40(c) (emphasis added). That plaintiff did not report the illegal activity directly to the Illinois Attorney General or State’s Attorney is not fatal to his claim of retaliatory discharge. See Michael v. Precision Alliance Group, LLC, 2011 IL App (5th) 100089 ¶ 24, 351 Ill.Dec. 890, 952 N.E.2d 682 (2011) (“[I]n no instance has Illinois required, an employee to make a direct report to a government agency.”). Defendants’ argument that there is no express or implied private right of action under the Illinois Prizes and Gifts Act is also misplaced. Plaintiff is alleging the common law tort of retaliatory discharge, not an implied or express statutory private right of action. See Bea v. Bethany Home, Inc., 333 Ill.App.3d 410, 415, 266 Ill.Dec. 781, 775 N.E.2d 621 (2002) ; Harris v. Bethesda Lutheran Homes, Inc., No.
