Powerball Lightning Bolt Strikes Hickory Hills, $200,000 Ticket Sold

HICKORY HILLS, IL — Christmas has come early for a lucky Illinois Lottery player who bought a winning Powerball ticket worth $200,000 at a Hickory Hills gas station.

The winning ticket matched four numbers and the Powerball, plus the player added the game’s ‘Power Play’ feature to win $200,000 each for the Saturday, December 3 drawing. The winning numbers were: 6-13-33-36-37 and the Powerball 7.

Two other lucky Illinois residents also won $200,000 in Saturday’s Powerball draw.

The lucky player purchased their winning Powerball ticket at Speedway, 8000 W. 95th St., Hickory Hills. The other winning tickets were purchased at Tony’s Fresh Market, 5630 W. Belmont Ave., Chicago, and on the Illinois Lottery’s website.

For selling the winning tickets, the retailers will receive a bonus of $2,000 each, one percent of the prize amount.

In total, nearly 17,000 winning tickets were sold, and nearly $740,000 in prizes were won in Saturday evening’s Powerball drawing.

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.

The next Powerball drawing is tonight, December 5, with a jackpot of $89 million on offer.
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.
