No Illinois Powerball winner, but state does have $1M ticket

WESTVILLE, Ill. (AP) - Illinois didn't have one of the jackpot-winning Powerball tickets, but state lottery officials say a $1 million winning ticket from the drawing was sold in eastern Illinois.

The Illinois Lottery said Thursday morning that the Match 5 winning ticket was sold at Phillips 66 in the village of Westville. The winner hasn't come forward from the Wednesday drawing.

Lottery officials say tickets in North Carolina, Puerto Rico and Texas matched all six numbers to split a $564.1 million Powerball jackpot.
