Mega Millions and Powerball players in North Carolina can have fun this weekend playing for jackpots that total $763 million.

A Mega Millions winner tonight would have the choice of taking home the $457 million jackpot as an annuity or $216.8 million in cash.

A Powerball winner on Saturday would have the choice of taking home the $306 million jackpot as an annuity or $147.8 million in cash.

Even though both jackpots remain up for grabs, two lucky tickets in North Carolina matched four white balls and the yellow Mega Ball in Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing:

  • A $3 ticket, bought using Online Play in Hickory, won $30,000 when the 3X megaplier hit.
  • A $2 ticket, purchased at Vraj on North Louisburg Road in Spring Hope, won $10,000.

The odds of matching four white balls and the yellow Mega Ball are 1 in 931,000.

Players can buy Mega Millions and Powerball tickets at any lottery retail location or through Online Play on the lottery’s website, www.nclottery.com, or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.

The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302 million. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

NCEL committee, is there going to come a time when the progressive fast plays can be purchased and played online? NC Lottery
Hi Nikka, at this time there has not been any mention of making Fast Play games part of the online experience at this time. But you never know. One day, it could make a transition over. We have had numerous questions about having it online. But, it would probably be a slow process to introduce one game at a time.

Where do I pay for tickets NC Lottery
Hi Martha, first you will need to register an account, where you can add payment information. After that, you will find a "Buy now" button on any game's home page near the logo. From there, you will see a pop-up with different options to select how you choose to play. Then you are all set to purchase your tickets.
