Illinois Lottery Player Wins $1 Million With Powerball Ticket Bought Online

February 24th, 2025

CHICAGO, February 24, 2025 – An Illinois iLottery player is kicking off the week as a newly minted millionaire, after winning $1 million with Powerball.

The winning online player matched all five numbers in Saturday’s Powerball drawing to score the $1 million prize. The winning numbers were: 7-18-22-50-65.

There were over 18,000 winning tickets sold in Illinois for the February 22 Powerball drawing, netting Illinois Lottery players over $1.1 million in prizes.

Already in 2025, more than $3.9 million in prizes have been won by Illinois Lottery players with Powerball.

The current powerball jackpot is at an estimated $230 million and the next drawing is tonight at 9:59 PM CT.

Powerball tickets can be purchased in-store, online, or on the Illinois Lottery app. Tickets are $2 each, and players have the option to add the Power Play feature for an additional $1 for the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes. For more information, please visit IllinoisLottery.com.

Winners have one year from the date of the winning draw 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 b-roll, produced by the Illinois Lottery, is available for the media; download here.

Don’t overdo it and keep track of how much time you spend playing the Lottery. When gambling is no longer fun - take a break! For more information, visit the responsible gaming pages on the Illinois Lottery website: Illinois Lottery Responsible Gaming.
