Gaston County man enjoys $100,000 Powerball win

Julian Macaulay of Mount Holly took a chance on a $3 Power Play ticket and won a $100,000 prize.

Macaulay bought his lucky Quick Pick ticket using Online Play. He matched the numbers on four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000 in the Jan.10 drawing. His prize doubled to $100,000 when the 2X multiplier hit.

He arrived Thursday to claim his prize and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $71,501.

Saturday’s Powerball jackpot stands at $120 million as an annuity, or $59.4 million in cash. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

Powerball is one of six draw games in North Carolina where players have the option of buying their tickets at a retail location or with Online Play through the lottery’s website or the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.

Well let me talk to ya! I can't win on PB,MM,LFL, CASH 5, Not even a few scratch-off I buy. NOTHING AT ALL. So I'm going to stop buying all of them. I'm sure there are other people that feels the same way as I. So talk to me people!
