North Carolinians won big in Saturday’s Powerball drawing with one lucky ticket winning $1 million. Two tickets won $150,000, and four won $50,000.
The $1 million ticket matched all five white balls in the drawing. It was sold at the Sheetz on Fairlawn Drive in Winston-Salem.
Two tickets matched four of the white balls and the Powerball in the drawing to win $50,000. Because they had the Power Play feature, the prize tripled to $150,000 when the 3X multiplier was drawn. The tickets were sold at:
• Love’s Travel Stop, Peeler Road, Salisbury
• Circle A Food Store, North Main Street, Mount Holly
Four other $2 tickets matched four of the white balls and the Powerball in the drawing to win $50,000. The tickets were sold at:
