There's buzz across the country and here in North Carolina about the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots. And somebody who played our state's jackpot game, Carolina Cash 5, could be buzzing after the $387,254 jackpot was hit Wednesday night.

The lucky ticket was sold in Lincoln County at the Fairgrove Food Shop in Denver, which is about 30 minutes north of Charlotte.

The winning numbers were 8-9-14-25-31. Whoever bought the winning ticket has 180 days to claim the prize money at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.

Big Winners

Mega Millions players have the chance to win the game's third largest jackpot Friday night. It is a $415 million annuity with a $286.4 million cash option.

The Powerball jackpot for Saturday's drawing weighs in at a hefty $243 million annuity with a $165.9 million option.

@ colonel said the cash 5 was hit in a high white populated area like Denver, its always like that when the jackpots are high. lol these drawings are def. NOT racially motivated !

Firecracker Cash with a $15,000 prize. What happen to the $25,000 prizes that y'all use to have for these drawings? Quick Cash drawings for $500 now? What happen to the 2500 winning Wednesday drawing? NC Lottery
The drawings and prize amounts offered in Lucke-zone drawings change every month. Every month we offer you extra chances to win.

What is this supposed to mean a high white populated area. All lives have the same chance and I'm not having much luck not complaining. Bet 90% of people who were to hit BIG would not give a dollar to help someone out!!!!

7/01/2016 08:03 - Robert R.

I see it this morning, thanks ncel NC Lottery
You're welcome. Appreciate the interest in our drawings. Good luck to you.

I just have to say that the ultimate millions game is the worst scratch off EVER!! I expect to lose some but I've played way too many times on this ticket to win nothing, so I'm done with this one!!

7/01/2016 05:59 - Roger K.

WOW! Small town of Denver. I think that's the first time anyone has won there. Just waiting on this whiteboy to win soon! Good Luck everyone!

7/01/2016 04:48 - Ronnie B.

Why can't it be a big winner in edenton, NC but I pray to my god everyday that it will be me the first one! Good luck to everyone that plays

All or Nothing ended tonight with only (5) Jackpot winners I believe in a 21 month run. Just (1) question I would like to ask, and I'm not complaining What happen to the Millions of dollars that were collected for the $2.00 tickets with very little pay-out????? NC Lottery
Here's a recap on All or Nothing. We had 7 winners of $250,000. The game paid out $16 million in prizes, on average about $172,000 a week. After paying retailers their commissions and covering operating costs, the rest of the money went to education. NC Lottery

A Cash 5 ticket has the same chance to win a prize no matter where it is sold. We've had winners from the mountains to the coast and everywhere in between. Good luck!
