CHICAGO, November 8, 2022 – The record-breaking $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot was won by one lucky player in California this morning - setting the world record for the largest jackpot ever won in lottery history. The jackpot was already a record $1.9 billion but grew to $2.04 billion by the time of the drawing. The results of the highly-anticipated Powerball drawing were announced this morning after Monday night’s drawing was delayed due to a technical issue, the Multi-State Lottery Association said in a press release. “The Powerball drawing scheduled for Monday, November 7, 2022, was delayed due to one participating lottery needing additional time to process its sales and play data.

EDWARDSVILLE – The City has launched a Commercial Building Improvement Program to help encourage safety and accessibility improvements by offering financial assistance to building and business owners. Improvement projects that meet the program requirements will be eligible to receive 25% of applicable costs. Reimbursements cannot exceed $25,000. The Commercial Building Improvement Program was initiated and developed by Alderman Chris Farrar, Ward 1, and approved by the City Council in late October. “This new program provides financial support to help businesses and building owners update these older structures to our current building codes for improved safety,” Farrar said. Specifically, Farrar said he was eyeing enhancements such as sprinkler and fire alarm systems, electrical upgrades and accessibility features such as ramps. “I understand the importance of full participation by all our residents so there is also funding available to retrofit commercial buildings
