CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) -
While there weren't any big winners in Saturday night's $176 million Powerball drawing, it was a lucky night for someone who bought a regular Illinois Lotto ticket in Aurora.
The winning numbers in Saturday night's Lotto drawing were: 18 - 23 - 27 - 30 - 31 and 43. One winning ticket, that matched all six numbers, was sold at the 7-Eleven at 2411 W. Sullivan Rd. in Aurora, according to the Illinois Lottery.
That winning Quick Pick ticket will net that player $4.85 million, according to the Illinois Lottery.
The next Lotto drawing will be held on Monday night, and the jackpot for that game is back down to $2 million.
