Skokie Ticket, Lottery App Deliver Million-Dollar Prizes

Illinois may not have snagged the record-breaking $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot, but the state still saw some serious wins.

Two players struck it big with $1 million prizes—one ticket sold at a Citgo gas station in Skokie, and the other through the Illinois Lottery app.
Four more players cashed in $100,000 each after matching four numbers plus the Powerball with the Power Play feature.
And yes, plenty of $50,000 winners also popped up across the state.

Saturday night’s winning numbers were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62 with the Powerball of 17. While Missouri and Texas claimed the monster jackpot, Illinois players had plenty to celebrate.

If you grabbed a ticket from that Citgo station on Touhy Avenue or played through the app, it might be worth giving those numbers a double-check—you could be sitting on a seven-figure payday.

Now, with the Powerball rolling back to its $20 million starting point for Monday’s draw, Illinois lottery fans are buzzing with fresh excitement and maybe just a little envy for those new millionaires.
