The Powerball jackpot tops the wish list of players across North Carolina with a $638 million prize in tonight’s drawing.
Monday’s Powerball jackpot offers a $638 million annuity that is worth $321.1 million in cash.
Players in North Carolina unwrapped two $50,000 wins in Saturday’s Powerball drawing. One was sold at a convenience store in Moyock. The other was purchased at a grocery store in Morrisville. Both winning tickets matched four white balls and the red Powerball.
“What a gift it would be to have the Powerball jackpot delivered to a home in North Carolina,“ said Mark Michalko, executive director of the N.C. Education Lottery. “We wish everyone joy and luck this holiday season.”
The last Christmas Day Powerball jackpot win occurred 10 years ago on Dec. 25, 2013 when a ticket sold in Missouri won $71.5 million. Three Powerball jackpots have been won on Christmas Day.
Players can buy Powerball tickets at any lottery retail location or through Online Play on the lottery’s website, www.nclottery.com. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
