Mega Millions players in North Carolina have a lot to be thankful for this week with a jackpot growing to $489 million for Tuesday’s drawing.

A winner tonight would have the choice of taking home the $489 million jackpot as an annuity or $225.3 million in cash.

Even though the jackpot remains up for grabs, North Carolina players continue to win big prizes playing Mega Millions. One lucky player matched four white balls and the Mega Ball in Friday’s drawing to win $10,000. The ticket was purchased at Fast Phil’s on Taylorsville Road in Statesville.

Nationally, the Mega Millions game has delivered three jackpot winners so far this year. The most recent win occurred in Texas with an $810 million jackpot on Sept. 10.

The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302 million.

Players can buy Mega Millions tickets at any lottery retail location or through Online Play on the lottery’s website, www.nclottery.com, or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.

Looking at powerball drawing on November 4th. Wow! Two people won 500,000 from roaring river and apex. The multiplier was 10. It's been a long time since that has happened. Haven't see anyone come forward yet to claim their winnings yet. Well if they have, I haven't seen it yet! Wow! Half a million dollars!
