Christmas has come early for a lucky Illinois Lottery player who purchased a Powerball ticket for the December 3 drawing at the Speedway at 8000 W. 95th St. in Hickory Hills.
That ticket and two others sold in Illinois are each worth $200,000.
The winning tickets matched four numbers and the Powerball, plus they 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.
The other lucky players purchased their winning Powerball tickets from Tony’s Fresh Market in Chicago, and on the Illinois Lottery’s website.
For selling the winning tickets, the retailers will receive a bonus of $2,000 each, 1 percent of the prize amount.
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.
