Ticket sold in Fayetteville wins $1 million Powerball prize

October 31, 2013 Posted by NC Lottery at 9:37 AM

Fayetteville is on a lucky streak! In last night’s Powerball drawing, someone purchased a ticket that’s worth $1 million.

The ticket, sold at the Kangaroo Express on Ft. Bragg Road, matched all five white balls but not the Powerball, beating odds of 1 in 5.1 million.

The five winning white numbers for the drawing were: 2-36-40-49-54. The winner has 180 days from the drawing to collect his or her jackpot.

No one matched all six numbers in Wednesday’s drawing. Saturday’s jackpot jumped to an estimated $60 million if paid as an annuity or $35 million if taken as a lump sum.

Fayetteville’s lucky streak began on Oct. 16 when Martin Hughes won $3 million playing the $120 Million Cash game. Then, on Oct. 28, Jose Belardo scratched off a $150,000 prize on his Bonus Jackpot ticket.

@ UUUUBSTRDS - The changes to the Mega Millions game were made by the states that originally started the game. We are excited about the better overall odds of winning, and the bigger jackpots since that is why people play the big multistate jackpot games. But you are correct that the odds of winning the jackpot are longer than they used to be.

If I enter 5 or more entries for 1 drawing do I get 5 or more different entry numbers?

I like that Zyde!!

it was bad enough that the tickets are now two (2) dollars. its almost criminal that you changed the megamillions to 75 numbers. which makes the odds of winning an extra 1 in 75 MORE million. i quit playing!
