Mega Millions and Powerball players in North Carolina can continue to have fun this week playing for jackpots that total $823 million.

A Powerball winner tomorrow would have the choice of taking home the $330 million jackpot as an annuity or $155.8 million in cash.

A Mega Millions winner on Tuesday would have the choice of taking home the $493 million jackpot as an annuity or $231.1 million in cash.

Even though both jackpots remain up for grabs, two North Carolinians bought lucky tickets in the Mega Millions and Powerball drawings over the weekend:

  • On Friday, an online player won $10,000 in Mega Millions.
  • A $2 ticket, purchased at Breeze Thru on Jenks Road in Apex, won $50,000 in Powerball last night.

Players can buy Mega Millions and Powerball 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.

The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302 million. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

The Cash 5 winners always seem to come in the Raleigh/ Durham area. Just be fair and let whatever numbers fall, fall. It shouldn't be picking and choosing where the winner come from NC Lottery
Hi Michael, all winning numbers are chosen at random. There are just more people taking a chance to win in larger areas like Raleigh. We can assure you that if you move to Raleigh or Charlotte,` it doesn’t become any easier to win a lottery prize there. The lottery can only work if everyone has the same chance to win, and no matter where you live, you have the same chance to beat the odds as someone anywhere else!
