Illinois Lottery players have another shot at a life-changing windfall this weekend. The Powerball jackpot is now $1.7 billion for the next drawing on Saturday night.
If won, it would be the third-largest Powerball jackpot and the third-largest lottery jackpot won in U.S. history.
Several Illinois Lottery players are celebrating after winning big money from last night’s drawing.
One lucky Illinois player won $1 million after matching five numbers. The winning Powerball ticket was purchased in Aurora.
In addition, two players won $100,000 after matching four numbers and the Powerball, plus the game’s Power Play feature. Six players matched four numbers and the Powerball to win $50,000 each.
