Illinois Wins $1 Billion Powerball | Jackson News

A lucky Illinois ticket holder just won a billion-dollar Powerball jackpot—the eighth-largest in history—sold in Quincy. The winner can choose between a $450 million lump sum (after taxes, roughly $260 million) or an annuity paying about $20 million annually for 30 years. Other winners include a $2M prize in Massachusetts and four $1M winners nationwide. The winning numbers were 4, 26, 66, 67, 69 with Powerball 9 and a 2x multiplier. It’s a life-changing windfall—even after Uncle Sam and Illinois take their share. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
