CHICAGO - If you bought a Powerball ticket in Tinley Park for Saturday night’s drawing, you may want to check it right away - that’s because you might be a newly-minted millionaire! The winning ticket was purchased at the 7-Eleven, located at 7601 W. 159th St. in Tinley Park, and matched all five numbers to win the $1 million prize for the Saturday, November 19 drawing. The winning numbers were: 7-28-62-63-64. The lucky winner is now the seventh Illinois Lottery player who has won a prize of a million dollars or more playing Powerball so far this year. This is also a win for 7-Eleven for selling the winning ticket, as the retailer will receive a selling bonus of 1% of the prize amount. For the convenience store, that means a bonus of $10,000. In total, more than 17,000 winning tickets were sold, and nearly $1.2 million in prizes were won in Saturday evening’s Powerball drawing. Winners have one year from the date of the winning draw in which to claim their prize
