North Carolinians can start their week today with a chance to win a Powerball jackpot that has heated up to $364 million.

A winner on Monday could claim the jackpot as a $364 million annuity or $164.1 million in cash.

“At $364 million, tonight’s jackpot heats up to the hottest level we’ve seen this summer,” said Mark Michalko, chief executive officer of the N.C. Education Lottery. “Remember it only takes one ticket to win. We would love to see a big summer win for someone in North Carolina tonight.”

Saturday’s Powerball drawing produced more than 20,000 winning tickets in North Carolina. North Carolinians also help education programs in the state when they play Powerball. Since June 2, when the jackpot started at $20 million, the current Powerball run has raised over $6.7 million for education in North Carolina.

Players can buy Powerball tickets at any lottery retail location or through Online Play on the lottery’s website, www.nclottery.com or on the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
