Quincy's Billion-Dollar Lottery Mystery | Wilmington News

A billion-dollar Powerball jackpot sold at a Quincy, Illinois gas station has turned the town into a real-life mystery thriller—no one knows who won yet, and the manager’s calling it a murder mystery. The winning numbers were 4, 26, 66, 67, 69 with Powerball 9, making it the second-largest prize in Illinois history and eighth all-time. The store gets a $500K bonus, while the winner can choose between $1.04B paid over 29 years or a $450.5M lump sum (before taxes), with the cash option deadline just 60 days away. Locals are flooding the station hoping to catch some lucky vibes, while the Illinois Lottery urges the winner to sign and safeguard their ticket—and under state law, they can remain anonymous if claiming over $250K. This could be Quincy’s biggest secret… or its biggest surprise. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
