Two $1 Million Powerball Winning Tickets Sold In Illinois

(CBS) -- While no one in Illinois won the big jackpot, two people bought Powerball tickets here worth $1 million apiece.

They matched five numbers, missing just the "powerball."

The Illinois Lottery says winning tickets were sold at a Citgo gas station in Glenview and Newstand in the Woodfield Mall.

Gas Station owner Biju Philip says they were really busy leading up to the drawing, selling $6,800 in tickets on Wednesday alone.

He says people have been in to check their tickets, but not the big winner.

He and his co-owner stand to get $10,000 for selling a winning ticket.

Illinois Lottery spokesman Steve Rossi says the record-setting drawing created more than just the two millionaires.

There are 45 prizes of $50,000 or more awaiting the winners, including six $100,000 tickets and 37 tickets worth $50,000 each.

Winners have a year to claim their prizes, but Rossi strongly encourages them to sign the back of their tickets.
