A lucky Powerball ticket in North Carolina won $2 million in Monday’s drawing.

The $3 Power Play ticket came from the Wegmans on Ligon Mill Road in Wake Forest. The ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls to win $1 million. The prize doubled to $2 million when the 2X multiplier hit.

The odds of matching numbers on all five white balls are 1 in 11.6 million. The winner has 180 days from the drawing to claim the prize.

Wednesday’s Powerball drawing offers a $236 million jackpot, or $116 million in cash. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

Powerball is one of six lottery games in North Carolina where players have the option of buying their tickets at a retail location or with Online Play through the lottery’s website or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.

@Edith A..I had the same problem with the location error… try closing out all your open pages on your mobile device and restarting also if necessary. Once I did this I had no trouble with purchasing online play.

I got Powerball was all nothing to go with it. Now I can't even get on online play, saying my location cannot be verified although I played before. Oh well, guess just more money I'll save.NC Lottery
