An Illinois resident has won the $1.04 billion Powerball jackpot after purchasing a ticket that matched all six drawn numbers. The prize ranks as the eighth-largest in the lottery game’s history, according to officials overseeing the drawing.
The winning ticket was sold within Illinois, though lottery organizers have not released additional details about the location or the ticket holder’s identity at this time. Winners of such massive prizes typically have options regarding how and when they claim their full winnings.
