To the victor go the spoils. A single lottery ticket bought at a gas station in Quincy, Illinois, is now worth $1.04B. The winning ticket was purchased at a Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh store in Quincy. The winning numbers are 4, 26, 66, 67, 69 and Powerball 9, drawn on the night of 12 August.
The Hy-Vee station also gets a generous cash bonus of $500,000 for selling the jackpot ticket. That bonus is a standard part of the Powerball retailer incentive program, paid out whenever a grand-prize ticket is sold at a participating location.
