Saturday’s Powerball jackpot grows to $345 million

The Powerball jackpot continues to climb as it now stands at $345 million for Saturday’s drawing.

The jackpot increased by over $30 million after nobody won the big prize in Wednesday’s drawing. A winner on Saturday could claim the jackpot as a $345 million annuity or $165.5 million in cash.

Check out these numbers on how Powerball affects North Carolinians:

• $50,000: One lucky ticket matched four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000 in Wednesday’s drawing. The ticket came from the Fast Stop on Andrews Street in Salisbury

• 17,911: The total number of winning tickets in Wednesday’s drawing

• $6.6 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.

NCEL why isn't there a lot of repeats in pick 4 like pick 3?NC Lottery
Hi, Shirley! While each combination has the same odds of being drawn in each drawing, the number of possible combinations for Pick 3 is 1,000, while the number of possible combinations for Pick 4 is 10,000. As there are 10X the possible combinations for Pick 4, we're less likely to see repeats over time.

Got my ticket for tonight's draw I can only Dream of winning. Good luck everyone...

NCEL has too many repeats, no variety for keeping players interested, no quads, and no big winners in pick 3 or 4. Enough said

Thinking I’ll buy Powerball and Cash 5 tickets for tonight…. :)
