Someone In Western Illinois Won $1 Million From Powerball

If you got a Powerball ticket lately, check it!

According to a release obtained by WHBF, Illinois has 2 new millionaires after Saturday night's Powerball drawing.

One of the $1 million winning tickets was sold at Road Ranger, 890 East Highway 38 in Rochelle.

The other $1 million winning Powerball ticket was sold at Shell, 1350 Cleveland Road in Colona.

The two tickets both matched Saturday night's winning Powerball numbers: 13, 16, 18, 20, and 27. They didn't get the Powerball number (10) but still winning Powerball's second-highest prize of $1 million.

The managers at both locations are thrilled they had the $1 million winning Powerball tickets. The stores will each get 1% of the winning tickets they sold, so both the Colona Shell and the Rochelle Road Ranger will get $10,000.

These two wins mark the 10th and 11th times that Illinois Lottery players have won $1 million or more playing Powerball.
