As Americans head into the Fourth of July holiday weekend, there is a chance for some fireworks Friday and Saturday night thanks to two big jackpots for the multistate lottery games.

At $415 million, the Mega Millions jackpot annuity for Friday's drawing is the third-largest in the game's history. A winner would also have the option of a lump sum of $286.4 million.

Saturday night, Powerball players have the chance to win a $243 million annuity or $165.9 million cash.

North Carolina has had six multimillion dollar jackpot winners of $12 million to $188 million.

We'll be watching with all of you to see what happens. Good luck!

What does it mean when it says..winner notified..to be announced..how do you know if you are a winner???????NC Lottery
It means we've notified the winner. But we can't announce a name until the claim process is complete. If you are a winner in a Lucke-Rewards or second-chance drawing, you will be notified by e-mail within 48 hours of the draw date. If we don't hear back we'll call and send certified mail if needed. Good luck!
