Key Points:
- The winning $1.04 billion Powerball ticket was sold at the Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh store on 36th Street in Quincy, Illinois, making it the second largest lottery prize in the state and the eighth largest in U.S. history.
- Store manager Jon Marshall purchased a ticket from the same location but did not win, and local customers have also confirmed they are not the winner.
- The Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh store will receive a $500,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket, providing a significant benefit to the business and community.
- The jackpot winner can claim either a lump sum payment of $450.5 million or receive the full amount in annual payments, with a year to come forward.
- Illinois law allows lottery winners to remain anonymous for prizes over $250,000, so the identity of the winner may never be publicly disclosed.
