One lucky Illinois Lottery player matched all five white ball numbers in the Wednesday, February 4, Powerball drawing to win the $1 million prize. The winning numbers were: 27-29-30-37-58.
“I couldn’t believe it—we’ve been waiting for this moment!,” said Jagdish Singh, store owner. “We don’t know who the winner is yet, but with all the local foot traffic, there’s a good chance they’re from the surrounding area.”
This is the largest lottery prize ever sold at Refiners Citgo since Singh purchased the business 15 years ago. The station has been a neighborhood fixture since the 1930s, originally operating under the name Refiners Pride before rebranding as a Citgo location.
“We sold a $400,000 scratch-off ticket last summer, but this is our first time hitting the million-dollar mark,” Singh said.
For selling the winning $1 million Powerball ticket, Refiners Citgo will receive a retailer bonus equal to 1% of the prize amount, totalling $10,000.
“The timing couldn’t be better,” Singh added. “We’ve been eager to invest in store upgrades, including a new cooler, and our customers will really benefit from those improvements.”
This is the first Powerball prize of $1 million or more sold in Illinois so far this year.
Powerball drawings are Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings at 9:59 PM CT. Tickets can be purchased in-store or online via the Illinois Lottery website and mobile app. Powerball tickets are $2 each, and players can add the Power Play for an additional $1 for the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes.
The Powerball jackpot for Saturday, February 7, 2026 drawing is an estimated $102 million.
