The jackpot for Saturday night’s Powerball® drawing has grown to $620 million and players across Illinois are lining up at Lottery machines for a chance to strike it rich.

If won, it will be the sixth largest jackpot in Powerball game history and the 10th largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.  The jackpot rolled over again on Wednesday night.

As the jackpot rolls, Illinois Lottery players are winning prizes along the way. Following Wednesday night’s Powerball draw, a player in Springfield is now $150,000 richer after buying a ticket online, and four more players are celebrating after winning $50,000 each.
