Weekend jackpots total more than $450 million

June 10, 2022 Posted by NC Lottery at 8:13 AM

If you enjoy taking a chance to win a big jackpot, you have two chances this weekend that together total more than $450 million.

The first chance comes Friday night when the Mega Millions drawing offers a jackpot weighing in as a $226 million annuity that is worth $129.8 million in cash.

The second will occur Saturday night when the Powerball drawing features a jackpot standing as a $229 million annuity or $132.3 million in cash.

There’s only a $3 million difference between the two dueling jackpots.

If you play, please check your ticket closely afterward to see if you won a prize. Both games offer nine ways to win including the jackpot.

For example, in Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing, someone who bought a $2 Mega Millions ticket at Parker’s Stop and Shop on Reidsville Road in Winston-Salem matched the four white balls and the yellow Mega Ball to win $10,000.

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million. The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302.5 million.

You can buy Powerball or Mega Millions tickets at any lottery retail location or through Online Play on the lottery’s website, www.nclottery.com.

This is exciting to watch. Either jackpot would be a life-changing win for someone in North Carolina and we hope to see that happen this weekend.

NCEL There has to be another 7 in those balls. 797 keeps coming out but o 777. You ha e got to be kidding. They have even locked out for a month now. Explain the reasons behind that.NC Lottery
Hi, Shirley! Sometimes, popular numbers will hit our "liability limit" and become blocked off for a particular draw - this ensures that if that combination is drawn, we will be able to pay out the prizes to all winners. And all of our combinations, regardless of popularity, have the same odds of being drawn in each drawing (for Pick 3, that's 1 in 1,000). We hope your favorite combination hits soon!

Most of us know these games like the Megamillion and Powerball are a long long shot so most of us that play the numbers focus on Pick 4. A $5000 win can do a lot. NCEL gotta make it exciting for players like Va.Bring out years like 1965, 1963. People play their birth year
