One lucky person is ending 2024 as a millionaire. A Powerball ticket worth $1 million was sold Saturday Dec 21 at the Jewel-Osco in Melrose Park. The ticket matched all five numbers. Those numbers are 1-12-17-21-58.

The winning ticket was sold for the Saturday, Dec. 21 drawing at the Jewel-Osco store at 800 North Avenue in Melrose Park.

While Mega Millions mania remains heightened for Friday's highly anticipated drawing, it was a Powerball play that brought a suburban lottery player a big win.

An Illinois Lottery player won $1 million after purchasing a Powerball ticket at a Jewel-Osco grocery store in Cook County.

Someone in Illinois just became a million dollars richer after matching all five numbers playing the Powerball.
