$1 Power Play doubles Powerball prize to $100,000

July 28, 2016 Posted by NC Lottery at 7:07 AM

As the Powerball jackpot climbed closer to half a billion dollars Wednesday night, a pair of tickets in our state won big prizes.

Each ticket matched four of five white balls and the red Powerball, also called a Match 4+1.

The winning numbers in the drawing were 10-47-50-65-68 and 24 for the Powerball.

Big Winners

One ticket worth $50,000 was sold at the Food Lion on Andrews Road in Fayetteville.

The other ticket had the $1 Power Play feature added and, thanks to a 2X Power Play multiplier, is worth $100,000. It was sold at the 4 Brothers on N.C. 67 in Jonesville, which is about 45 minutes west of Winston-Salem.

The Powerball jackpot is now a $478 million annuity worth $330.6 million cash. Are you going to Power Play your tickets for Saturday's drawing?

why is a claim form needed for a winning ticket of $599.OR less! NC Lottery
Greg. We would need a bit more information to answer your question. Are you claiming at a store? You do not fill out a claims form at a lottery retailer for prizes of $599 or less. Or are you doing a mail-in claim? You do fill out an abbreviated claim form to claim a prize of $599 or less by mailing it in. You can learn more and see the forms here. http://www.nc-educationlottery.org/info_how-to-claim.aspx

I've hit the Powerball twice this month but unfortunately the rest of the numbers aren't cooperating! One thing I think is unfair is that if you hit the Powerball the prize is $4.00 but if you hit the apowerball plus one more number the prize is still only $4.00 0.o I think you should get a little more for hitting 2 numbers instead of the same as just 1 number. I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling this way. '

I always Power Play! You can't even buy a soda for a dollar but you could win another $50,000.00 to $450,000.00 depending on the multiplier. Just think about it, possibly $450,000.00 more or a dollar. Always, always, always POWER PLAY!!!

do they call you if you winNC Lottery
The question we get most often has to do with winner notification and winner announcements as it relates to Lucke-Rewards and promotional drawings. Winners are typically notified by email within 48 hours. So for a drawing held on a Wednesday, winners can expect a message by 5 p.m. Friday. If a winner does not respond to email notification, we will follow up with a telephone call and, if necessary, send certified mail.
