The Powerball game just hit another milestone as the $1.55 billion jackpot represents the fourth largest in U.S. history.
A winner tonight could claim the prize as a $1.55 billion annuity or $679.8 million in cash.
Monday’s estimated $1.55 billion jackpot also represents the third largest Powerball jackpot in history. Powerball has gone 34 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner.
In Saturday’s drawing, two different tickets in North Carolina matched four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000. One of the tickets added Power Play and tripled to $150,000 when the 3X multiplier hit. The winning tickets came from:
- A $3 Power Play ticket from the Duck Thru on South N.C. 581 in Spring Hope that won $150,000
- A $2 ticket from the Speedway on Mebane Oaks Road in Mebane that won $50,000
Check out these numbers on how Powerball affects North Carolinians:
- 134,122: The total number of winning tickets in Saturday’s drawing
- $25.5 million: The estimated amount raised for education on the current Powerball run
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. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
