Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots on the rise!

May 31, 2019 Posted by NC Lottery at 12:44 PM

Excitement is rising here at the lottery as both the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots continue to climb. 

Tonight’s Mega Millions jackpot has hit $444 million, or $281.1 million if taken as a lump sum.

The fun doesn’t stop there.

Saturday’s Powerball jackpot stands at $350 million, or $221 million in cash.

We’ve had six jackpot winners from North Carolina, and are hoping for number seven this weekend.

So, which game are you playing? Powerball? Mega Millions? For a chance to score nearly $800 million for only $2 for each game, how about both?


With nine ways to win in either game, you can still win a nice prize — even if it isn’t the jackpot.   

Good luck to all our North Carolina players!

Thank you for the reply. I am using the Mobile App on my iPhone 6s with IOS 12.3.1. Saturday I attempted to enter (Collect) 20 Tickets I had not entered before and received the "You already submitted this ticket" message on 3 of them. Yesterday I attempted to enter (Collect) 2 tickets I purchased on Saturday - the first was accepted; the second generated the "You already submitted this ticket" message. NC Lottery

Let it be the ticket I'm holding sure would make my day an a believer that you can win Large

Imagine... if one of these days the numbers hit are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... how many people will show up across the country to collect their winnings? Haha!

odds of winning pb or mm are not good so I will stay with pick 3 and 4 since I have done quite well on these games and tax free

Mobile App Problem with the new Version 1.2.0 that arrived overnight. Periodically is giving message "You already submitted this ticket" for Tickets I have not yet submitted when I Scan them to Collect. This has cost me several Second Chance Entries today. Please fix ASAP!! Thank you. NC Lottery
