Powerball players in North Carolina could get some big help with their holiday shopping list if they are lucky enough to grab the $477 million jackpot in Monday’s drawing.
A winner tonight could claim the jackpot as a $477 million annuity or $229.7 million in cash.
“This Powerball present continues to get bigger and bigger,” said Mark Michalko, executive director of the N.C. Education Lottery. “We want to see a North Carolinian unwrap it by matching all six winning numbers.”
In last Monday’s drawing, a $150,000 winning ticket was purchased in New Bern and a $50,000 winning ticket was purchased in Creedmoor.
The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
Powerball is one of six draw games in North Carolina where players can buy their tickets at a retail location or with Online Play through the lottery’s website or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. Lottery players can now buy scratch-offs at a retail location or play digital instant games online at nclottery.com and on the app.
