The Powerball jackpot just reached another milestone as it crossed the $600 million mark for Monday’s drawing.

A winner tonight could claim the jackpot as a $605 million annuity or $273.4 million in cash.

While players keep trying for the jackpot, one lucky ticket in North Carolina matched four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000 in Saturday’s drawing. The ticket came from Kap's Friendly Shop on Wallburg Landing Drive in Winston-Salem.

Check out how North Carolinians win when they play Powerball:

  • 34,842: That’s the total number of winning tickets in Saturday’s Powerball drawing
  • $11.1 million: That’s the estimate of how much money has been raised for education during the current Powerball run

Powerball has gone 33 straight drawings without a jackpot win. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

Players can buy Powerball tickets at any lottery retail location or through Online Play on the lottery’s website, www.nclottery.com.

For details on how lottery funds have made a difference in all of North Carolina’s 100 counties, click on the “Impact” section of the lottery’s website.
