The Powerball jackpot keeps climbing up the all-time list as it now stands at $1.2 billion for tonight’s drawing.

A winner could claim the jackpot as a $1.2 billion annuity or $551.7 million in cash. Wednesday’s jackpot represents the third-largest jackpot in Powerball history and the seventh largest overall jackpot in U.S. history.

In Monday’s drawing, two different tickets matched four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000. The winning tickets came from:

  • Carlton's Hampton Road Grocery on Hampton Road in Clemmons
  • Harris Teeter on Mill Creek Road in Carthage

The Powerball jackpot has gone 32 consecutive drawings without a winner. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

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

Hi NCEL Was just curious if the cool $2 dollar spooky bucks tickets will be making a comeback for Halloween? We loved them we got married on Halloween:-) That was a great ticket. ThanksNC Lottery
Hey there, Douglas! All of our October tickets are already out this year (our Power suite of tickets), but we appreciate you sharing this with us! The folks that make decisions about the games we offer read comments like these, so feedback like this helps us plan for what we can offer our players in the future. :) And happy early anniversary!

Wow! Got y'all emergency alert on Facebook. You know,since it's so high, going to break down and buy 10 dollars worth of tickets. I just can't let it pass me by. Wish I could flop down more, but 10 is all I can spare right now. Good luck to everyone!
