Powerball had one winning ticket in the drawing for the massive $1.04 billion jackpot. The single ticket was sold in Illinois. But there was also a $2 million winner in Massachusetts.

The winning numbers drawn late Wednesday were 4, 26, 66, 67, and 69, with a Powerball of 9.

The lone winning ticket was sold at a gas station in Quincy, Illinois. The $1.04 billion jackpot was the biggest of the year for Powerball and the eighth-largest Powerball grand prize ever.

A ticket that's now worth $2 million was sold at Robinson News Convenience store on Eastern Avenue in Malden, according to the Massachusetts Lottery. The store will now get a $20,000 bonus for selling that ticket.

The agency said there were three $50,000 winners in Massachusetts. Those tickets were sold at a 7-Eleven on Bridge Street in Dedham and at Cumberland Farms stores on Washington Street in Attleboro and on W. State Street in Granby.

The winners have not come forward yet. They have one year to claim their prizes.

The jackpot for the next drawing on Saturday night will be $20 million.

Powerball is played in 45 states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Washington, D.C., and now the United Kingdom. Tickets are $2 each. 

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are just 1 in 292.2 million.
