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

The winner bought the ticket at Bayleaf Convenience & Deli on Six Forks Road in Raleigh. The lucky ticket won the highest prize nationally in Saturday’s drawing.

The $2 ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls, 1-16-48-49-65. The odds of matching all five white balls in a Powerball drawing are 1 in 11.6 million. The winner has 180 days from the drawing to claim their prizes.

No one won Saturday’s Powerball jackpot. The jackpot will climb to $42 million as an annuity or $31 million cash for Wednesday’s drawing.

The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

Players can buy Powerball tickets through Online Play on the lottery’s website, www.nclottery.com, with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App, or at any lottery retail location.

LZ, I hate to ask the same question twice, but you haven't given me an answer on the PB promo. Is it 4 draws (2 weeks X twice a week drawing) or 6 draws?? Six draws is not an option online. options are next drawing, next 2 , 3, 4 or 5, then it jumps up to 10.NC Lottery
Hi Denver, I agree the way this promotion is set up could be a bit confusing. The easiest way to get your free tickets is to add 1 Powerball draw to your shopping cart. Then, in the shopping cart, you will see a new popup banner allowing you to "Add 5 Powerball draws and get a $4 Discount". After clicking the green "Add Draws" button you will now have 6 total tickets in your cart but will only be charged for 4. Hope that helps to clear things up.

Michael B., every time they change games like C5 they have a trickle down of future draws you can purchase. I went to (buy now) on C5 & chose 90 draws to see if it would stop me. It did not , but I did not go thru with purchase. NCEL has said new C5 is coming in late spring. I am guessing April or May.

Congrats you lucky duck. LZ speaking of Powerball. Your online promo doesn't add up right. It states buy 2 weeks worth , get 1 free. But the details say minimum purchase "6 draws". Two draws a week times 2 weeks would be 4 draws, would it not? Would your "free week" numbers be the same as the draws you purchased?

NCEL! Will the new Cash 5 update on March 1st or is toward the end of the month ? Any details or more info NC Lottery
Hi Michael, we should have an announcement about this soon, so stay tuned!

Hey ncel how about fixing the one off game in pick 3 and 4 were it can be won in any order.Im just saying it's not like it's a lot of money that the prizes offer anyway.NC Lottery
Hi Tiffany, the prizes for the one-off add-on are based on the number of possible combinations that your numbers can match. To offer this add-on with the prizes available it has to be based on an exact set of numbers.
