No one matched all numbers, which means the jackpot Tuesday night’s drawing was an expected $865 million with a $638.8 million cash option.
The jackpot is the second-largest in the game’s history and the third highest of all U.S. lottery jackpot games, according to the lottery commission.
A Springfield gas station also sold a $1 million winning ticket last week.
The Powerball ticket was sold for Saturday’s drawing at a Shell gas station, 1543 Moorefield Road. It also was an auto pick, and matched all but one number.
The next Powerball drawing is 11 p.m. Wednesday, with a jackpot of $730 million.
The Englewood and Springfield retailers will receive $1,000 bonuses for selling the $1 million ticket.
Each ticket holder has 180 days from the drawing to claim the prize; however, neither winner has done so.
