Illinois Wins $1 Billion Powerball Jackpot | Washington DC News

from Washington DC News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A Powerball winner in Illinois just claimed a staggering $1.04 billion—the eighth-largest jackpot ever—choosing between a 29-year annuity or a $455 million lump sum before taxes. Four other winners across Arizona, California, and Massachusetts each took home $1 million (one doubled to $2 million with the Power Play option). With Saturday’s jackpot resetting at $20 million and the 10x multiplier back in play, dreamers and players alike are reminded that luck can strike—and it’s time to chase your own big win.
