America is abuzz about the $540 million jackpot for Friday's Mega Millions drawing which, depending on ticket sales, could grow even larger before the drawing is held at 11 p.m. tonight. We're looking forward to finding out how many big-winning tickets North Carolina has in the drawing, and if someone from our state is lucky enough to beat the odds and become the biggest jackpot winner in history.
Several North Carolina players are already jackpot winners after last night's Carolina Cash 5 drawing. Three tickets matched all five numbers to split the $701,751 jackpot, making each one worth $233,917.
One was sold at The Propst Superette on N.C. 16 South in Taylorsville in Alexander County.
What is rare, but not unprecedented, is that two of the jackpot-winning tickets were sold at the same store! That location is the Kangaroo Express on North Church Street in Rocky Mount. We won't know if one player bought both tickets at the same store, or if it was two players, until one or both of the tickets show up at headquarters.
Whether the biggest jackpot in world history is on the line, or you're playing another lottery game, we always wish our North Carolina players the very best of luck. Stay tuned to the Lucke-Zone for more information.
