If won, this enormous prize would become the fourth-largest Powerball jackpot and the fifth-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history.
The jackpot rolled over following Saturday night’s drawing when no ticket matched all six winning numbers—4, 5, 28, 52, 69, and Powerball 20. While there was no jackpot winner, several Illinois players are celebrating major wins.
One lucky iLottery player won $150,000 by matching four numbers plus the Powerball and adding the Power Play® feature. In addition, four Illinois players each won $50,000 after matching four numbers and the Powerball.
This Powerball jackpot run began on September 7, 2025, and has already delivered big results for Illinois players. More than 1.3 million winning tickets have been sold statewide, awarding players over $16.1 million in total prizes.
Retailers also benefit from every Powerball ticket sold, earning commission on sales and a 1% selling bonus on any winning tickets.
Powerball tickets are available at licensed retailers statewide and online through the Illinois Lottery website and mobile app. Tickets cost $2 per play, with the option to add Power Play for $1 for the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes.
