Another big win for the Prairie State
Illinois lottery players are having a remarkable week. Just one day after a lucky ticket holder claimed a staggering $536 million Mega Millions jackpot on March 10, the Illinois Lottery has announced yet another major winner — this time a $1 million Powerball prize secured on Wednesday, March 11.
The winning numbers were 3, 6, 55, 58, and 63, with the ticket purchased at BCD Liquors at 10S622 Kingery Hwy in Willowbrook. As the retailer that sold the winning ticket, the store is also entitled to a 1% bonus — a $10,000 windfall of its own.
Big wins beyond Illinois
The good news extends well beyond state lines. In New Jersey, a record-breaking Jersey 5 Cash game produced a $3.4 million winner, while across the Atlantic, UK national lottery operator Allwyn confirmed that a single ticket had claimed a $243 million EuroMillions jackpot — the third-largest prize in the country’s history.
It has been a rare stretch of headline-grabbing lottery results across multiple markets, reminding players everywhere that life-changing wins can land at any moment — and sometimes in clusters.
