Someone walked into the Handy Mart on Herring Avenue in Wilson and bought a Powerball ticket for $2 that is now worth $1 million. The ticket matched all five white balls, 16-23-42-44-47, to win the prize in Wednesday's drawing. In all, North Carolina players won more than $1.1 million.
Two Power Play tickets in our state matched four white balls and the Powerball, which was 2, making them worth $40,000 each. Those tickets were sold at the Food Lion on Hope Valley Road in Durham and at the Calabash Citgo on Beach Drive in Calabash, which is in Brunswick County.
No “perfect ticket” matched all six balls on Wednesday night, pushing the jackpot to $113 million for Saturday's drawing. Stay tuned to updates here in the Lucke-Zone for more information about winners and winning tickets.
