Illinois Powerball Mystery: $150K Ticket Unclaimed

Someone in Illinois just had a life-changing experience, but they don't seem to know it yet. A $150,000 Powerball ticket was sold at a small convenience store this week, but no one has claimed ownership of it - yet.

Does this convenience store in Carpentersville, Illinois look familiar to you?

This is the Trio store at 695 Barrington Avenue in Carpentersville, Illinois and, according to the Illinois Lottery, just sold a Powerball ticket valued at $150,000 on June 25, 2025.

It would not be unusual for someone who stopped at this Illinois convenience store to pick up a Powerball ticket as an afterthought and then forget about it later. That's one reason why it's a good idea to keep your eyes on the unclaimed prizes page of the Illinois Lottery. Even with the inevitable taxes being taken out, $150,000 is still a big chunk of change that would surely improve someone's day. Maybe it's you?
