EAST PEORIA — Illinois had at least one other big winner in the weekend’s record Mega Millions lottery jackpot.

The (Peoria) Journal Star reported Sunday that a ticket worth $250,000 was sold at a gas station in the central Illinois city.

That ticket matched five numbers, but not the Mega Ball.

The three biggest winners of the $640 million jackpot have so far stayed out of sight. They are to get $213 million before taxes. The winning Illinois ticket was bought at a convenience store in the small town of Red Bud near St. Louis. The others were sold in Maryland and Kansas.
