Illinois Powerball player wins $1M in Wednesday drawing

CHICAGO - An Illinois Powerball player became a millionaire Wednesday night.

The lucky person, who bought the Powerball ticket online, matched all five numbers in the drawing. The winning numbers were: 10, 15, 21, 67, 69. The Powerball was 3, which the player missed. The jackpot was an estimated $178 million.

The winner becomes the fifth Illinois Lottery player this year to receive a prize of $1 million or more playing Powerball.

The next Powerball drawing is Saturday, Aug. 12. The jackpot is an estimated $194 million.
