She bought her lucky ticket at Kebo's Archery on Polkville Road in Shelby.

A pair of $150,000 Powerball prizes were also claimed this week. Brady Medlock of Gastonia and Terry Biggers of Charlotte won the prizes in the Feb. 27 drawing.

The lucky tickets were sold at the Desperados Western Market on Second Avenue in Siler City and at the Marathon on Main Street in Lincolnton.

A Brunswick County man won $25,000 in Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing thanks to a Megaplier of five. Robet Lilly of Bolivia bought his winning ticket at the Kangaroo Express on Main Street in Shallotte. Friday's jackpot weighs in at a $144 million annuity worth $94.4 million cash.

And wrapping up jackpot game news, the Carolina Cash 5 jackpot has climbed to $443,000 heading into Friday's drawing. It's always interesting to see what happens!
