Powerball ticket sold in Jackson County wins $1 million prize

January 26, 2020 Posted by NC Lottery at 9:52 AM

Saturday’s Powerball drawing produced a $1 million prize for someone who bought a ticket at a convenience store in Whittier in Jackson County.

The lucky winner bought the ticket at the Catamount Travel Center on U.S. 441 North in Whittier. The $2 ticket matched the numbers on the five white balls, 2-9-17-36-67, beating odds of 1 in 11.7 million.

Powerball players whose ticket came from the store should check their tickets. The $1 million prize won in North Carolina was one of three $1 million prizes won nationally in the drawing.

The lucky winner has 180 days from the drawing to claim the prize.

No one won the Powerball jackpot in the drawing. The Wednesday jackpot climbs to $394 million as an annuity prize, or $274.6 million cash.

NCEL next time you all update the Cash 5 please consider increasing the prize for 4 out of 5. $250 is nothing for getting 4 numbers right. You can play pick 4 and win $5000 for that $1, so I feel you should at least get $1000-$5000 for having 4 out of 5.NC Lottery
Thanks for the input, Angela! We'll pass along your suggestion to our game development folks.

Well, PB's getting high enough now that everyone and their cousin will start playing just because it reaches half a billion or more. And I bet the winner will STILL be in New Jersey! LOL.

WHY-OH-WHY in N.C. don't people buy a $3.00 ticket for Mega & Pball ??? That $1 Million ticket would have been $2 Million !!! Still don't understand why on Pball the Million $ prize is only multiplied by 2 and other amounts(excluding jackpot)can be up to X5 (X10 when the jackpot is below 150 Million !!!) ...and ALL prizes on Mega (excluding jackpot) are multiplied by up to X5 ! ! ! Players PLEASE pick up a brochure @ the store(when u can find them !)or research the website and "Educate"yourselves to "Get the MOST" from the games you play !!!Good Luck to ALL !!!
