Mega Millions and Powerball players in North Carolina can take a shot this weekend at jackpots totaling more than $1 billion.

A Mega Millions jackpot winner tonight would have the choice of taking home the $607 million jackpot as an annuity or $286.9 million in cash.

A Powerball winner on Saturday could take home the $443 million jackpot as an annuity or $210.3 million in cash.

“These impressive jackpots provide an exciting weekend for our players,” said Mark Michalko, executive director of the N.C. Education Lottery. “Bringing these jackpot wins to North Carolina would be all the more exciting.”

As both jackpots continued to grow, North Carolina players have collected thousands of prizes. Wednesday’s Powerball drawing had more than 18,800 winning tickets and Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing had more than 26,000.

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.

It is a rip-off! Make it easier for more people to win! Not fair that one person wins most of the time!

Why hasn't the I.T. department put the pick 3 and 4 past results like it used to be ?? I talked to a representative two months ago and they said that they were aware of the problem, but still nothing has been done.NC Lottery
Thanks for your comment, Ricky! Our web team is aware of this and they're working to improve navigation though past draw results. While we don't have a specific timeline for when this will be adjusted, we're working to get this improved for players as soon as we can!
