Powerball plus Mega Millions equals $600 million in jackpots

June 13, 2023 Posted by NC Lottery at 11:49 AM

With both the Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots continuing to roll, lottery players in North Carolina can go for jackpots this week that together offer $600 million in prizes.

Tonight’s Mega Millions drawing provides the first chance to take home a huge win as the jackpot stands at a $260 million annuity or $134.3 million cash. The next opportunity comes in Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing where the jackpot stands at a $340 million annuity or $175.5 million in cash.

The Powerball game especially has seen some huge wins already in the month of June:

$1 million win and two $50,000 wins in the June 3 drawing
$100,000 win in the June 5 drawing
$250,000 win in the June 7 drawing that remains unclaimed. The ticket came from Online Play in Charlotte.

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million. The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302 million.

Players can buy Powerball or Mega Millions tickets at any lottery retail location or through Online Play on the lottery’s website, www.nclottery.com.

Why is it no double play option online for the Cash 5..???? NC Lottery
Hey there, Kenneth! Sorry about that - Double Play and EZ Match are only available as add-ons for Cash 5 purchases made at retailers. We currently do not offer these for Online Play purchases, but we hope to be able to one day in the future!

Here comes the $1 Billion jackpot runup for the lead into the fall season. It's almost like both mega lotteries are competing. I'm starting to see a pattern here.

Hello NCEL. Is something wrong with the second chance 500, 500 ultimate winners list it populated a few days ago but now it’s no longer populating the list of winners. Just checking. ;-)NC Lottery
