One lucky ticket purchased in North Carolina in Monday’s Powerball drawing matched all five white balls to win a $1 million prize.
The lucky winner purchased the $2 ticket from Murphy Express on N.C. 42 West in Garner in Johnston County. The win was the top prize won nationwide in Monday’s drawing.
The odds of matching numbers on all five white balls are 1 in 11.6 million. The winner has 180 days from the drawing to claim the prize.
Since no one won Monday’s jackpot, the new jackpot for Wednesday’s drawing will climb to $100 million as an annuity, or $51.3 million cash.
Players can buy Powerball tickets at any lottery retail location, through Online Play on the lottery’s website or by using the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
