Powerball Jackpot is $400 Million; Do You Feel Lucky?

One Addison man does, after finding $1 million in his glove compartment.

Illinois Lottery's Powerball drawing is tonight, and the jackpot is $400 million, give or take. That's the fifth-largest jackpot ever.

The Lottery's motto, "Anything's possible," certainly rang true for an Addison man a couple of weeks ago, when he just happened to find a Millionaire Raffle ticket in the glove compartment of his car. It was from July 4, and it was worth $1 million, according to WLS Radio

He had purchased the ticket at the Addison Citgo and forgotten all about it.
