Evanston’s Shell Foods, 2494 Oakton St., recently sold a winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket for the March 4 drawing, making someone in the area $100,000 richer.

On Feb. 6, a salesman from Streamwood won $1 million after purchasing a Powerball ticket at the Lake Villa Citgo at 400 E. Grand Ave., reported the Lake County News-Sun. The man's cash payout was $700,000.

The Powerball drawing is held every Wednesday and Saturday at 9:59 p.m.

The largest Powerball Jackpot to date was $384 million and was won on Nov. 28, 2012 in Arizonia and Missouri.
