Brandon Jeffries of Rougemont tried his luck on a $3 Powerball ticket and won a $100,000 prize.

Jeffries bought his lucky ticket using Online Play. He matched the numbers on four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000 in the Dec. 29 drawing. Because he bought a Power Play ticket, his prize doubled to $100,000 when the 2X multiplier hit.

Jeffries arrived at lottery headquarters Friday to claim his winnings and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $72,011.

Monday’s Powerball jackpot stands at an $86 million annuity or $38.8 million in cash. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

Powerball is one of six draw games in North Carolina where players have the option of buying their tickets at a retail location or with Online Play through the lottery’s website or the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.

Education programs in Durham County received $13.6 million in support from lottery funds last year. For details on how lottery funds have made a difference in all of North Carolina’s 100 counties, visit www.nclottery.com and click on the “Impact” section of the lottery’s website.
