Powerball lottery ticket worth $1 million sold in Sycamore

Though no one won an estimated $700 million Powerball jackpot Wednesday night, an Illinois lottery player hit it big in Sycamore, winning $1 million.

The million-dollar winning ticket was sold at Riverside Mobile, located at 503 N. Main Street in Sycamore.

Store manager Betsy Byrd says a regular at the convenience store bought the winning ticket. Riverside Mobile will receive a $10,000 bonus for the sale.

“My staff and I are excited that our store sold a big prize-winning ticket, but we’re absolutely overjoyed that we sold the winning ticket to someone that we all know,” Byrd said.

If anybody has a winning ticket then the player must keep it in a safe place and claim the winning prize by visiting the nearest lottery headquarter or the player can also have the facility of calling or seeing mail to start the claiming process
