Hovies Dillahunt of New Bern tried his luck on a $3 Power Play ticket and won a $150,000 prize.

Dillahunt bought his lucky ticket from the Circle K on Simmons Street in New Bern. He matched the numbers on four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000 in the Dec. 4 drawing. His prize tripled to $150,000 when the 3X multiplier hit.

He arrived Wednesday to claim his prize and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $107,251.

Saturday’s Powerball jackpot stands at $35 million as an annuity, or $17.7 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.

NCEL explain how numbers come like 320 322 but skip 321 for months and even years How is that even possible? Is it because the pay out for certain numbers is always substantially higher?
