Tonight’s Powerball jackpot just got even bigger as it grew an additional $25 million today to reach $750 million.
Players trying for the Powerball jackpot can claim the prize as a $750 million annuity or $378.8 million in cash. The jackpot now ranks as the sixth largest Powerball jackpot in history.
Powerball attributed the increase in the jackpot total to strong ticket sales as people across the United States try their luck at winning the prize.
While players continue going for the jackpot, the Powerball game keeps producing big wins in North Carolina. In Monday’s Powerball drawing, four different $2 tickets matched four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000. The wins occurred:
• In Raleigh with a ticket purchased through Online Play
• In Swannanoa with a ticket bought at the Swannanoa Community Store on U.S. 70.
• In Candler with a ticket bought at Southeast Energy on Smokey Park Highway.
• In Lincolnton with a ticket bought at the Raceway on East Main Street.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
