Illinois Wins $1 Billion Powerball | Detroit News

A $1 billion Powerball jackpot just hit Illinois—the biggest of the year and one of the top eight ever—won by a ticket bought at a Hy-Vee in Quincy. The winner can choose between an annuity or a pre-tax lump sum of over $450 million. This was also the first drawing allowing UK players to join, sparking global excitement as millions check their numbers. Beyond the mega-win, three million tickets cashed in: four won $1 million each, one in Massachusetts took home $2 million with Power Play, and Michigan had two $50,000 winners. The jackpot resets to $20 million for the next drawing—someone’s gotta win, right? One ticket could change everything.
