RALEIGH, NC (WWAY) — Wednesday’s Powerball jackpot now represents the eighth largest jackpot in the history of the game.
A winner Wednesday night could claim the $775 million jackpot as an annuity or $362.5 million in cash.
“Any time you talk about one of the 10 biggest Powerball jackpots, you know it’s significant,” said Mark Michalko, chief executive officer of the N.C. Education Lottery. “What a moment that would be for some lucky North Carolinian to take that prize home tonight.”  
In Monday’s drawing, a North Carolinian matched four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000. This winning ticket was sold at J&J Food Mart in Winston-Salem.
This drawing is the second-largest Powerball prize offered this year, trailing the $1.7 billion jackpot won in September.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

December 3, 2025 10:10 a.m.
The Oregon Lottery will return more than $887 million to the state for the 2025 fiscal year.
An Oregon Lottery release said compared to the previous year, the transfer is approximately $60 million less due largely to 2024 administrative savings that weren’t available this year. The transferred amount includes unclaimed prizes totaling $49 million.
The funding directly benefits state parks and natural habitats, public schools, veteran services, outdoor schools, and economic development. Oregon Lottery is self-funded through the sale of games, not tax dollars, and voters and the legislature designate where the money goes.
Oregon Lottery Director Mike Wells said, “Playing Oregon Lottery games helps fund critical Oregon programs”. Wells said, “Wins don’t just benefit players, they also boost local retailers and contribute directly to local communities”.
Oregon has twelve players who took home prizes worth $1 million or more, including four Powerball wins and four Oregon Megabucks wins. Overall, lucky lottery players earned payouts totaling nearly $15.9 billion this year. Prizes account for about 92 percent of the Lottery dollars played.
Sales commissions on Lottery games also support retailers, many of whom are small business owners. The 3,800 Lottery retailers across Oregon collectively earned $306 million in commissions this year.
