Someone in North Carolina could ring in the new year with a massive prize as the Powerball jackpot checks in at $760 million.

Saturday’s Powerball jackpot stands at a $760 million annuity that is worth $382.5 million in cash. The jackpot represents the sixth largest in Powerball history.

In Wednesday’s Powerball drawing, a $2 ticket bought in Wilson at The Grocery Door on Nash Street Northwest matched the numbers on four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000. That win marked the fifth consecutive Powerball drawing with at least a $50,000 win in North Carolina.

“It has been great to see all the big Powerball wins in North Carolina this year,” said Mark Michalko, executive director of the N.C. Education Lottery. “We would love for a lucky North Carolinian to head into the new year with a jackpot win on Saturday.”
