A winner in Tuesday’s drawing would have the choice of taking home the $681 million jackpot as an annuity or $336.1 million in cash.

Check out how North Carolinians win when they play Mega Millions:

  • 36,621: That’s the total number of winning tickets in Friday’s Mega Millions drawing
  • $9.3 million: That’s the estimate of how much money has been raised for education during the current Mega Millions run
