Although the $1.08 billion Powerball jackpot was won by someone in California, several Illinois residents cashed in with prizes of up to $1 million in Wednesday's drawing.

The lucky million-dollar winner bought a ticket at Williams Liquor, located at 925 S. York Road in Elmhurst, according to the Illinois Lottery.

Seven other people matched four numbers and the Powerball to win $50,000 each. Three of those tickets were purchased on the Illinois Lottery website. The other four were bought at the following locations:

  • Love's Travel Stop at 4628 S. Main St. in Rockford
  • Thorntons Gas & Food Mart at 2201 N. Greenbay Road in Waukegan
  • Casey's General Store at 520 W. Peru St. in Princeton
