Catawba County man wins $250,000 lottery prize

Coleman Dollarhide of Conover took a chance on a Powerball ticket and won a $250,000 prize Saturday night.

Dollarhide bought his lucky ticket using Online Play. He matched the numbers on four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000. Because he bought a $3 Power Play ticket, his prize increased to $250,000 when the 5X multiplier hit.

He arrived at lottery headquarters on Wednesday to claim his winnings and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $178,751.

Saturday’s Powerball jackpot stands at a $34 million annuity or $16.8 million in cash. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

Powerball is one of six draw 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 the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.

Congrats Dollarhide. As for NCEL, it seems like another news article to entice more folks to spend one more extra dollar on a controlled game with a predetermined outcome.
