Powerball Jackpot Claimed in Illinois | Louisville News

A record-breaking $1.04 billion Powerball jackpot was claimed just days after rolling over — with a single winning ticket sold in Illinois hitting all numbers for the August 12th drawing. The previous drawing’s numbers — 6, 37, 54, 55, 64 with Powerball 10 — went unclaimed, but the next day’s draw (4, 26, 66, 67, 69 with Powerball 9) brought fortune to Massachusetts’ Match 5 + Power Play winner and four $1 million winners across Arizona, California, Florida, and North Carolina. While the cash option stood at $455.5 million, the rarity of hitting the top prize is underscored by Kentucky’s last big win — $167.3 million back in April. Attention is now squarely on that Illinois winner, who turned a near-mythical jackpot into reality. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
