Half a billion dollars up for grabs in drawings this week

November 4, 2014 Posted by NC Lottery at 11:49 AM

Are you ready for a big number? North Carolina players have the chance to play for more than half a billion dollars in prizes in drawings this week.

At $321 million, Tuesday night’s Mega Millions jackpot annuity is the 8th largest jackpot in the game’s history and would be worth $194.1 million if claimed as a one-time lump sum. A North Carolina winner would mark the third Mega Millions jackpot winner in state history.

The Powerball jackpot for Wednesday's drawing weighs in at a $178 million annuity. The cash option for that jackpot is $111.1 million. If a lucky ticket sold in North Carolina wins the jackpot, the player would become the state's fourth Powerball jackpot winner.

A MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB player could win the $21 million Top Prize annuity in Friday's drawing, which would come to $12.8 million cash. If that prize is won, 14 Millionaires' Club prizes of $1 million each will be awarded.

Carolina Cash 5 players have seen the jackpot grow to $211,000. If no ticket matches all five winning numbers Tuesday night, the jackpot will be even bigger for Wednesday's drawing.

We will be watching the drawings with all of you to find out what happens next. Good luck!

Question... If i've won the pick 3 on several tickets. I know that I can go to different retailers, but can I consolidate them and turn them into the lottery officer without being taxed on them? NC Lottery
You will receive one check, but as long as each ticket is less than $600, you will not have any taxes taken out. Did you have a big day playing Pick 3?

I would still like my question answered that I posted last nite. why has the location of the M0NOP0LY MILLIONAIRES CLUB purchase not been posted. We know that it has not been claimed and maybe if you posted where in the state it was purchased maybe it would be found and claimed. NC Lottery
Sure thing! The winning ticket was purchased at the Wilco located on N.C. 41 South in Wallace. The winning number in the drawing was: NC-2191-0006-7887. Best of luck!

Well I was wrong again on any Top prize winner from Cali or Fla for the drawing last night. But 3 lucky players matched the first 5 numbers for a $1,000,000 prize: 1 from California, 1 from Michigan, and 1 from Texas. Very surprise nobody from Fla had 5 numbers right this time! New York had 47,003 winners on Powerball last night, Florida had 44,917 winners last night, California had 60,891 winners last night. Out of all the States that play POWERBALL there was a total of 591,823..winners. Lots of loser also, me included! Wishing all Good Luck in the coming drawing!

Yes bkearney220 I agree with ya! I would love to get a win, at least something better that a buck or two! I can't really afford to play any scratch offs. My games are just draw games...Been awhile since I have purchase a scratch off. Might break down and buy one of the new scratch offs that just came out! Good Luck to you!

Well i was wrong on FLA or CALIFORNIA winning the big Jackpot last night! But they did have one California 5 numbers right win, and one New Jersey had a 5 numbers right win, One New Yorker had a 5 numbers win and 2 lucky people had 5 numbers win in the big state of Texas! But New York had the top prize winner! Would be nice waking up to a Big Jackpot win this morning! Congrats to the winner! Now lets see if California or Florida wins Powerballs Jackpot tonight! They do have alot of 5 numbers right in Cali and Fla though. Good Luck everyone for tonight's drawing! Got my 2 bucks worth!

You were right "1Rock2King" The MM was in New York,Caif.NJ,and I think one more northern state.I am beginning to believe we need to let all these big states and counties that win all the money,Buy all the tickets as we never see any of the money in the county I live in,even the scratch off are all loosing tickets here.

The King is bank rolling his money on Pick3 this month with Jingle Bucks scratch off tickets as present for the holidays. My fortune teller has told me 880, 881, 884, and 332 will roll into the KINGS Palace this month. Best of luck to all LuckE players and the King himself.

I usually enjoy the blogs topics but way too many "ifs" in this one!! Lol....I know alotta luck to win. My day is coming I can feel it:)

MM will be won in either California or Florida. Wednesday Powerball will be won in Florida or California. You don't win a million on Monopoly unless the Jackpot is won. Lastly the Cash5 will be won in NC, but not in my county! It was won in my county in May of this year and it takes a year or two, maybe 3 years before it will be won here in my county again! But I will try my luck on MM and Cash5 today. one dollar on MM and three dollars on Cash5, maybe the numbers will hit me tonight! Good Luck for the players in our state!
