North Carolinians have two chances to play for major prizes this weekend as the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots total more than $1.3 billion.
Tonight’s $843 million Mega Millions jackpot ranks as the eighth largest in the history of the game. A winner would have the choice of taking home the $843 million jackpot as an annuity or $391.7 million in cash.
A winner in Saturday’s Powerball drawing would have the choice of taking home the $467 million jackpot as an annuity or $220.7 million in cash.
Even though both jackpots remain up for grabs, players are taking home lots of other prizes playing Mega Millions and Powerball. Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing produced over 17,000 winning tickets in North Carolina. Wednesday’s Powerball drawing saw a lucky North Carolinian match four white balls and the Powerball to win $50,000. The winning ticket came from the Han-Dee Hugo’s on Western Boulevard in Raleigh.
The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 290 million. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
Players can buy Mega Millions or 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.
