Powerball tickets win big, jackpot grows bigger

November 5, 2012 Posted by NC Lottery at 12:01 PM

Another big Powerball jackpot run could be developing before our eyes. Because no ticket matched all six numbers, the jackpot rolled to $143 million. Two tickets sold in North Carolina, however, did match four white balls and the Powerball to win $10,000 each. The winning numbers were 4-7-9-30-54 and 25 for the red Powerball.

The big-winning tickets were sold at the Quik Chek on N.C. 150 South in Lexington and at the Asheboro Shell on U.S. 64 East in Asheboro. In all, players with a total of 22,888 winning tickets won $184,455 in prizes.

The last time the Powerball jackpot got this big, back in September, it rolled all the way to $202 million before a ‘perfect ticket’ in Iowa won it all. For every Powerball drawing, a player with a ticket in any state – including North Carolina, in a city big or small – has the same chance of winning the jackpot as someone anywhere else. It’s happened for Powerball jackpot winners in our state three times before. For each drawing, we’re watching along with our players to find out if it happens again. Best of luck to everyone who’s trying their luck in Wednesday’s drawing!

@ LUCKLESS - That information is available all over the internet. When we blog about Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots, we often mention where the jackpot-winning tickets were won. But the main focus of the Lucke Zone and NCEL website are NCEL games and winners.

What would be wrong with this website letting us know where the Powerball or Mega millions was won?? Check the Va. Lottery.

@ PLAYER (OP) - If a prize ultimately goes unclaimed, half the money would go back into the prize pool for future winners, the other half would benefit education in the state. But keep in mind, winners have to complete the claim process through one of the lottery's regional claim centers before they can be announced.

I was let go from great career after working for over 25 years. Large company downsizing and hostile takeovers. Looking for new job. Many blessings to come in the near future.

The King will sit on his throne with a smile if 444 & 884 shows up on 11/08/2012 or 11/09/2012. 444 is over due.

@ EVERYONE - The Lucke Rewards drawings were held as scheduled and the winners have been notified by e-mail. Make sure to check the e-mail account that you have listed with your Lucke-Zone account. The winners' names will be announced only after they come to a regional claim center to complete the claims process.
