CHICAGO — Even the Cubs couldn't topple Chicagoans' dream of winning the lottery.
Internet search giant Google released its annual "Year in Search" list Wednesday, tracking the hottest search terms in the United States and Chicago. Nationally, Powerball was the biggest trending search term — the lottery game hit a $1.586 billion jackpot way back in January — and it was in Chicago as well.
The Cubs, who broke their 108-year World Series drought, came in as the second-most trending term citywide.
Google said topics are "trending" when it sees a spike in volume of search results, according to the company.
After Powerball and the Cubs, Chicago's top trending searches were the late pop superstar Prince, the international soccer tournament Copa America that hosted some matches at Soldier Field and Pokémon Go.
Nationally, the top trending searches were Powerball, Prince, Hurricane Matthew, Pokemon Go and another game named Slither.io.
Chicagoans also clearly love Halloween. "Pumpkin patch near me 2016" was the city's top trending search when it comes to finding places "nearby." Other places that trended in Chicago searches were "where to vote," "Walmart," "movies" and "CVS."
The top trending person in Chicago searches was Hillary Clinton, followed by Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, Olympian Michael Phelps and Steven Avery from "Making a Murderer."
Nationally, those five had a different order with Trump at the top, followed by Clinton, Phelps, Sanders and Avery.
