Powerball $302M, Cash 5 $906K for Wednesday night

May 31, 2017 Posted by NC Lottery at 8:25 AM

North Carolina players are taking a shot at two big jackpots Wednesday night.

The Powerball jackpot has been on a roll since it was last won on April 1. That's 16 straight drawings without a perfect ticket. Will one or more tickets win the $302 million jackpot?

The Cash 5 jackpot has ballooned to $906,000 for Wednesday's drawing. It was last hit on May 19 and has grown larger in each of the last 11 nightly drawings. Will the jackpot get hit or top $1 million?

Wednesday is the last day to take advantage of The Works promotion. To get four draw games for the price of three, just ask for "The Works" at any lottery retailer. You'll get a Quick Pick ticket for Powerball, Cash 5, Lucky for Life and Mega Millions all for $5.

Good luck to everyone in the upcoming drawings!

You are still running T V commercials on "The Works" in the Charlotte market. Has this promotion been extended? NC Lottery
Hi there! No, the promotion has not been extended. We pulled the commercial on Sunday, but thank you for letting us know it's still running in some areas!

I'm hoping for people who love to play,spend so much tryin' to win, there will be a fair-share of players to win here in N.C., not just "1" when it get this big, in my overall consensus,would be so much nicer,to see more win over Quarter of a mill to a MILLION, way more should be able to share this huge jackpot. adios. Good luck to all who played.
