Three lucky Illinois Powerball players scored $50,000 each from Wednesday’s Christmas Eve drawing — and two of those tickets were sold in the Chicago suburbs.
According to the Illinois Lottery, one of the $50,000 tickets from the $1.87 billion jackpot drawing was sold at St. Charles 7-Eleven, located at 2400 E. Main St. Another $50,000 ticket was sold at a Shell station in suburban Harwood Heights, located at 7455 W. Lawrence Ave.
The 3rd $50,000 ticket, officials said, was an iLottery Powerball ticket sold online.
The winning numbers in Wednesday’s drawing were 4, 25, 31, 52, 59, and a Powerball number of 19.
The big wins in Illinois come after a single ticket sold at a gas station Arkansas won the full Christmas Eve Powerball jackpot. Lottery officials said they won’t know who won that ticket until at least Monday because winners must contact a claims center, which is closed for the holidays until then.
In addition to the $50,000 winning tickets, nearly 400 tickets sold in Illinois as part of Wednesday’s drawing won $100 each. In Indiana and Michigan, there were two tickets sold worth $1 million, the Powerball website showed, with other million-dollar tickets sold in California, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

“U.S. lotteries are reminding players to check their tickets carefully, as many tickets won cash prizes in [Wednesday’s] drawing,” a release from Powerball officials said.
The cash prizes follow a $1 million Powerball ticket sold at a Mobile gas station in suburban Deerfield as part of Monday’s drawing. No one hit that jackpot in that one, causing the grand prize for the Christmas Eve drawing to swell.
Powerball’s odds of 1 in 292.2 million are designed to generate big jackpots, with prizes growing as they roll over when no one wins. Lottery officials note that the odds are far better for the game’s many smaller prizes.
Tickets cost $2, and the game is offered in 45 states plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The next Powerball drawing, with a jackpot of $20 million, takes place at 9:59 p.m CT Saturday.
