The Powerball jackpot has soared to $1.7 billion for Wednesday night’s drawing. If won, this jackpot would become the fourth-largest lottery prize in U.S. history.
While no one matched all six numbers in Monday night’s drawing, Illinois players are celebrating some big wins. One lucky winner in Deerfield, Illinois, scored $1 million by matching five white ball numbers. The winning ticket was purchased at the Mobile gas station located at 650 Waukegan Rd.
Additionally, another Illinois player won $100,000 by matching four numbers plus the Powerball and opting for the Power Play feature. Seven other Illinois players each won $50,000 by matching four numbers and the Powerball.
