No one matched all five numbers plus the Powerball, which was 14, to win the Jackpot. That means the grand prize up for grabs is now at least $681 million, with the next drawing slated for 9:59 p.m. CT Wednesday.
The Illinois Lottery did not immediately respond to NBC Chicago’s request about where the $1 million ticket was sold.
The ticket also comes as another winning Powerball ticket from 2024 is set to expire in a number of days.
