Forsyth County woman wins $100,000 Powerball prize

August 4, 2021 Posted by NC Lottery at 11:33 AM

Elizabeth Webb of Winston-Salem took a chance on a Powerball ticket and won a $100,000 prize.

She purchased her winning ticket using Online Play. Webb’s $3 Power Play ticket matched numbers on four of the white balls and the Powerball in the July 14 drawing to win her $50,000.

Webb’s prize doubled to $100,000 when the 2X multiplier was drawn. The odds of matching four white balls and the Powerball in a drawing are 1 in 913,129.

She claimed her prize Monday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required federal and state tax withholdings, Webb took home $70,751.

No one won Saturday’s Powerball jackpot. Wednesday’s drawing offers a $211 million jackpot as an annuity prize or $153.9 million cash. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

Beginning Monday, Aug. 23, Powerball will add a Monday night drawing to the current schedule of Wednesday and Saturday nights drawings. Tickets will still remain at $2 and the odds of winning any of the nine prizes in each drawing will stay the same.

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.

ok, well if I win something,(lol) hope I'll get the email from you. ?? on the Keno play slip where you fill out how many spots (# 3 in the example here)..can you fill out more than one choice of spots , say choose 6,7,9 etc. on same slip? NC Lottery
Hi Tony, great question! You can only select one box from the "Spots" column for each Keno playslip. After selecting your spots, pick as many numbers as you did spots. Good luck!

Hey LZ, not getting email confirm. when entering the lucke rewards draws, don't need those anyway, right ? ( never saw any entrant #'s in them when I DID get them ) Yes, you're in my address book and no, spam is not catching them ..they just aren't coming in. Yes, am signed up for promos, etc. NC Lottery
Hi Tony, not to worry, as long as your entries appear in your points history then you are all set. After logging in to your account, open the main menu and then "Points History" to see a record of your Lucke-Rewards and Second Chance entries.
