Powerball ticket sold in Jacksonville wins $1 million

Have you been watching the Powerball jackpot? If so, you know that it rolled Saturday night to $250 million for Wednesday’s drawing. The jackpot hasn’t been this big since the first week of November.

Someone won $1 million in the drawing. A ticket sold at the Wilco at 6995 Western Boulevard in Jacksonville matched all five white balls. With the new Powerball features that began last month, had the ticket been Power Played, it would be worth $2 million.

The winning numbers were 15-23-43-45-56 for the white balls, and 7 for the red Powerball.

Two tickets matched four white balls and the Powerball to win $10,000 each. One was sold at the Lowe’s Foods on Arendell Street in Morehead City. The other was sold at the Food Lion on North Main Street in Holly Springs.

In all, North Carolina players won more than $1.3 million in prizes on 43,108 winning tickets Saturday night. So, how will the Powerball bounce in the next drawing? We’ll find out at approximately 10:59 p.m. Wednesday night.

@ PLAYER - Folks in Havelock and Craven County have the same chance of winning a prize as anyone playing anywhere else in the state. It's all just a matter of luck, and you have to remember that when you see news about a winning ticket showing up somewhere in the state, there were many non-winning tickets sold in that area, too. Through June 30, 2011, Craven County players won more than $47.8 million in lottery prizes. More than two dozen players from Havelock have won $5,000 or more, including six prizes of $50,000 to $417,611.

I WOULD BE HAPPY WITH 1% OF ANY JACKPOT. JUST ENOUGH TO KEEP MY FAMILY ABOVE WATER AND PAY FOR OUR CONSTANT DOCTORS CARE AND MEDS. mAYBE, IF THERE IS ANYTHING LEFT, PAY OFF THE BILLS, AND GIVE SOME TO CHARITY.....TONY

I won 5k in Dec. on the pick4. My mail box got destroyed by a careless driver. The driver didn't man up. I was mad . Not any more. When I put the numbers on my box I decided to play them exact. I replaced 2 of my neighbors boxes that same day. My wife said cause I did a good deed that day Karma was why I won. Maybe. I say it's all about being lucky on any given day.

I hope to win something on the Powerball at least 500.00 or 1000.00, but nobody every wins big in my area. The scratchoff's don't even pay off big. :-( Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but the truth is the truth.....Maybe NC will win big this time. Good Luck to all and God Bless!!!!

@ SUSAN - Wow, your comment just made our day!

Thank you NCLottery for the $200 VISA card I won in the New Year's drawing. I found out I will be getting my first granddaughter in June so I had a pink attack and used part of the VISA to purchase some pretty pink baby clothes and blankets. The rest of the card helped purchase my son's paramedic textbooks for his class(so the lottery will help save people's live when my son is a paramedic!).

Don't bother buying a ticket. The jackpot is already mine. Thanks in advance to the NCEL.

2/06/2012 08:07 - Shawn D.

I will take home the 25000,000.00 dollars and i will share with everone because i love seeing people happy.

Im going to make a prediction that some people may not like, but here goes ...... I predict that I will take home that Powerball jackpot. Its my destiny. :) Congrats to the Jacksonville winner !

i going to win the powerball this wednesday for that $250 million so i would like to thank you for bringing it to nc.A lot of people like myself wouldnt have the chance to dream of ever winning or have this amount of money.

2/06/2012 11:56 - Roger K.

will be purchasing the groups tickets on Wednesday. If we can't win the JACKPOT,then I'm hopeful that we would at least get 5 numbers right,for a 2 million dollar win.but we still would like to win the top prize....
