Powerball ticket purchased with Online Play wins $2 million prize

May 23, 2021 Posted by NC Lottery at 9:52 AM

Saturday’s Powerball drawing produced a $2 million prize for someone who bought a ticket through Online Play on the lottery’s website.

The lucky $3 Power Play ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls, 3-19-27-37-40, to win $1 million. With the added Power Play feature, the prize doubled to $2 million when the 2X multiplier was drawn.

 

 

The drawing also produced a $50,000 win in North Carolina with a ticket that matched four of the numbers on the white balls and the number of the Powerball. That ticket was purchased at the Harris Teeter on Alston Boulevard in Hampstead in Pender County.

The two winners have 180 days from the drawing to claim their prize.

 

Since no one won Saturday’s jackpot, the jackpot climbs to $236 million as an annuity prize or $161.1 million cash for Wednesday’s drawing. Odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

Hey NCEL we need to get the FIREBALL like SC and VA for pick-3 and pick-4. This is a very exciting new feature and please end the one-off and/or sum-it-up as the pay for the most common numbers is so low the option is not even worth it. Example 000 and 999 are the best payout on sum-it-up and how often do they hit.....?NC Lottery
Hi Angela, thanks for the great suggestion! Our game developers read these comments and will certainly take your ideas into consideration as they plan new features for the future. Thanks again!

Hi, Congratulations to all the winners. When you play online do you all notify winners via email for all amounts?NC Lottery
Hi Karen, great question! When you win online you should receive an email at the account you use for your Online Play account. When you log in to your Online Play account you should also receive a notification letting you know that you won. Good luck!

Wonderful!!!

Not hating, but it is just very intriguing how the winners are from these remote areas in the State of North Carolina on a constant basis. The scratch offs as well as the draw games. Guess I need to gas up the vehicle and ride 2.5 hours in order to potentially purchase a winning ticket in some form. Congratulations to the Winners...
