2 $1 million Powerball winning tickets sold in Illinois

Two tickets sold in Illinois are $1-million winners in the unprecedented $1.6-billion Powerball jackpot.  Powerball officials say three overall winning tickets were purchased in California, Florida and Tennessee. 

There was a pair of $1-million winners who matched five numbers but didn't have the Powerball. Those tickets were bought in suburban Chicago, one at a Citgo Food Mart in Glenview and the other at Newstand in Schaumburg's Woodfield Mall.

Illinois Lottery officials say the state also had six $100-thousand winning tickets and 37 $50-thousand winning tickets.

The winning numbers are 4-8-19-27-34 and Powerball 10. The estimated jackpot amounts had risen since Nov. 4.
