Powerball and Mega Millions players in North Carolina can have fun this week playing for jackpots totaling $1.267 billion.

A Powerball winner tonight would have the choice of taking home the $532 million jackpot as an annuity or $260.1 million in cash.

A Mega Millions winner on Tuesday would have the choice of taking home the $735 million jackpot as an annuity or $356.7 million in cash. If won, the $735 million jackpot would represent the sixth largest in Mega Millions history.

While North Carolinians keep trying their luck at the jackpots, players continue to win other nice prizes. One lucky ticket in North Carolina matched four white balls and the yellow Mega Ball in Friday’s Mega Millions drawing:

  • The $2 ticket, purchased at Joe's Kwik Marts on N.C. 16 North in Denver, won $10,000.

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.

Would be nice! Why is the march promo code not working? Deposit $10 get $5 credit. Thanks.NC Lottery
Hey there, Chester! The "MARCH" promo code is a purchase code, so it can be used with a purchase of $10+ in one of our draw games. When you add $10+ to your cart, you can enter the code "MARCH" in your cart to redeem this offer.
