Bolingbrook Jewel Sells $100K Lottery Ticket

BOLINGBROOK, IL — No one won the grand prize in Wednesday's Powerball lottery, but a Bolingbrook retailer did sell a $100,000 ticket, according to the Illinois Lottery.

The Bolingbrook Jewel, 1200 W. Boughton Road, sold the winning ticket which won $100,000 in Wednesday's drawing.

Three players matched four numbers and the Powerball with Power Play to win $100,000, and nine players matched four numbers and the Powerball to win $50,000. Winning tickets were also sold in Metamora, Joliet, Darien, Palatine, Pekin, Woodridge, Aurora, Oak Park, Oak Lawn, Third Lake and Savoy.

Since no one won the grand prize on Wednesday, the Powerball jackpot is now at $1.5 billion for Saturday night's drawing. If someone wins the grand prize, it would be the second largest Powerball jackpot and the third largest lottery jackpot won in U.S. history, according to the Illinois Lottery.

The retailers that sold the winning tickets will receive a selling bonus of 1 percent of the prize amount, the Illinois Lottery said.

Winners have one year from the date of the winning draw in which to claim their prize. The Illinois Lottery encourages all lucky winners to write their name on the back of their ticket and keep it in a safe place until they’re ready to claim their prize.

Powerball tickets are $2 each, and players have the option to add the Powerplay for an additional $1 for the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes. Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 9:59 p.m.
