Craven County man wins $150,000 playing Powerball

Kennie Jones of New Bern tried his luck on a Powerball ticket and won a $150,000 prize.

Jones’ $3 Power Play ticket matched numbers on four white balls and the Powerball in Saturday’s drawing to win $50,000. His prize tripled to $150,000 when the 3X multiplier hit.

Jones purchased his ticket from the Breeze Thru on East Street in Pittsboro. He claimed his prize Tuesday at lottery headquarters and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $106,516.

Jones’ win came as North Carolinians play for a Powerball jackpot that now tops $350 million. Wednesday’s Powerball drawing offers a $365 million jackpot, or $207.5 million in cash. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

Powerball is one of four lottery games in North Carolina where players have the option of buying their tickets at a retail location or with Online Play through the lottery’s website or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. The other games are Mega Millions, Lucky For Life, and Carolina Cash 5.

1 in 292 million. He match 4 white balls and the power ball. That's a long shot too! Lucky stars I guess help him. 106,516 is a nice chunk of change. I'd be happy with that myself. Hope it won't be long before I win. Just have to keep playing. My wife would tell me,I will never win, GOD rest her soul.

NCEL the trip triggers that you have listed on your site are not bringing any trips even though they are coming out. Remove the trip triggers if they don't do what you're advertising!!!!NC Lottery
Hi, Shirley! These limits are in place with our Pick 3 and Pick 4 games to ensure that if a specific combination is drawn, we will be able to pay out prizes to all of the winners. There is a liability limit of $10 million with each of the games, although usually only popular numbers such as "trips" or "quads" hit this limit - other combinations are still able to be purchased. And remember, all of our combinations have the same odds of being chosen in each drawing. We hope your favorite number hits soon!
