Illinois Lottery players have a chance to become a multi-millionaire this holiday as the Powerball jackpot jumps to $572 million for tonight’s drawing.
This is the fourth Powerball jackpot to surpass the half-a-billion-dollar mark in 2023.
No one has hit the jackpot since October 11th, 2023, when a lucky ticket holder in Frazier Park, California claimed the second-biggest jackpot in lottery history – a mouth-watering $1.765 billion.
You could be next! With over 7,000 Illinois Lottery retailers across the State, lottery players can conveniently pick up a ticket at their local store – or they can log in to the Illinois Lottery website or app and purchase a ticket online.
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. Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 9:59 p.m. (CT).
