The Powerball jackpot keeps on climbing as it was raised by $15 million on Wednesday and now stands at $850 million for tonight’s drawing.
A winner could claim the jackpot as an $850 million annuity or $397.4 million in cash. Wednesday’s jackpot represents the fourth-largest jackpot in Powerball history.
In Monday’s drawing, four different tickets matched four white balls and the red ball to win $50,000. One of the tickets, a $3 Power Play ticket, doubled to $100,000 when the 2X multiplier hit. That ticket was purchased at S&D Food Mart on East Garrison Boulevard in Gastonia.
The three $50,000 winning tickets came from:
- Lowes Foods on Reidsville Road in Walkertown
- Highway 33 Convenience Mart on N.C. 33 in Edward in Beaufort County
- A ticket purchased in Fletcher using the Online Play program on the lottery’s website.
The Powerball jackpot has gone 29 consecutive drawings without a winner. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
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.
