Illinois Lottery Ticket Worth $1 Million Sold in Schaumburg

SCHAUMBURG, IL -- If you recently bought a Powerball ticket in Schaumburg, you are going to want to double check your numbers. A convenience store in Schaumburg sold a $1,000,000 winning Powerball ticket that matched all five numbers, but not the Powerball, in a Saturday, April 6 drawing, according to a news release. The winning Powerball ticket was purchased at a 7-Eleven at 903 W. Wise Road in Schaumburg.

The ticket matched all winning numbers, which were 15 - 33 - 43 - 59 - 60, but did not match the Powerball number, which was 8.

The retailer will receive a bonus of $10,000, or one percent of the prize amount, for selling the winning ticket, according to the news release.

Also in recent days, the Mobil at 1600 New Lenox Road, in Joliet, sold a $2 million winning ticket, and Lucky Day Lotto tickets with winning numbers were sold in Chicago and Riverdale. Those lucky winners will split a $400,000 jackpot, with each getting $200,000.

The Illinois Lottery urges the lucky winners to sign the back of the ticket and keep it in a safe place until they call 1-800-252-1775 or visit one of the Lottery’s five Prize Centers in Chicago, Des Plaines, Rockford, Springfield or Fairview Heights.

Winners have one year from the original drawing date to claim their prize. For more information or to subscribe online, please visit illinoislottery.com.
