McHenry Gas Station Sells Another Major Lottery Ticket Prize: A gas station in McHenry recently sold a $50,000 winning Powerball ticket, marking its second significant lottery win in just two months. In October, the same location sold a Mega Millions ticket valued at $3 million. The Powerball jackpot continues to climb and has now reached an estimated $1.6 billion, making it one of the largest in U.S. history. Despite no jackpot winner on Saturday, several Illinois players secured substantial prizes in the latest drawing. (Source: Lake and McHenry County Scanner on Dec 22)
