At $108 million for Friday’s drawing, the Mega Millions jackpot is on a roll. Meanwhile, a big-winning ticket has been sold in Cumberland County – at stores less than five miles apart – in each of the last two drawings. Both tickets matched four white balls and the Mega Ball and added the $1 Megaplier feature to multiply the winning amount.
The Megaplier in the Friday, Feb. 24 drawing was 4, making a ticket sold at VaVa Food Mart on Cumberland Road worth $40,000. Then, when the Megaplier was 3 in the Tuesday, Feb. 28 drawing, a ticket sold at the Short Stop on Legion Road in Hope Mills won $30,000. Statewide, Mega Millions players won a combined total of $250,539 in the drawings.
The odds of winning a prize at this level playing Mega Millions are one in 689,065. The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are approximately one in 175.7 million. Here in North Carolina, we’ve had two Mega Millions jackpot winners since the game started here two years ago.

This money would sure help out medical issue for my family and allow me the home I dreamed for. My dad is bedridden and need physical therapy and the lottery is his favorite past time enjoyment. Goldsboro is looking for the win and it helps the school, too!
I hope that Kerr Lake Bait and Tackle wins the jackpot tonight. I've been playing my same numbers for over a year at this store. Hopefully luck will find its way to my family ;) We have put alot of money in the lottery and would be over joyed with winning this 108 million dollar jackpot. Our school system is in much need for some additional funding
