Check your Powerball tickets, you could be one of four big winners!

January 4, 2018 Posted by NC Lottery at 11:41 AM

If you bought a ticket for a chance to win Wednesday’s $460 million Powerball jackpot, take a second look at it. The drawing produced four winning tickets in North Carolina, and you might have it. Here’s where the lucky tickets were sold:

•    $1 million ticket: 7 Eleven on Sam Roper Drive in Charlotte (Mecklenburg County)
•    $50,000 ticket: Murphy USA on Lincolnton Hwy in Cherryville (Gaston County)
•    $50,000 ticket: Speedway on N.C. 16 in Denver (Lincoln County)
•    $50,000 ticket: Run-In on Elkin Highway in North Wilkesboro (Wilkes County)

The winning numbers were 2-18-37-39-42 for the white balls and 12 for the red Powerball.

If you have the winning ticket, you have 180 days to visit us and claim your prize. Since no one won Wednesday’s drawing, the jackpot for Saturday’s drawing is $550 million annuity, worth $347.9 million cash. This is the sixth largest jackpot in Powerball history.

Good luck!

I got a question not concerninh The powerball drawing but does revolve around Lottery scratchers!! Y’all created the holiday scratch offs are they meant to Last the life span of other games considering other games last around 2 years Are the holiday games meant to last that long As well. Very curious because there 3 million dollar prizes still not claimed on the ten dollar holiday millionaire .. thanks in regards!!! NC Lottery
Hi there, Rodney. Typically games with higher price points ($20, $30) are meant to last longer than the lower price points of $10, $5, $3, $2, $1 because there are larger prizes waiting to be claimed. While the $10 Holiday Millionaire game is not meant to last as long as a $30, $20 ticket, players still have plenty of time to play our holiday games! Last year's $10 holiday game ended in June and players had until August 31 to claim any prizes. Hope that helps!

Regarding the App, if the date has passed on a drawing game will you receive message or email notification of win? NC Lottery
Hi there, Matthew. Blog moderators are not sure what you are asking. If you purchase a ticket through online play and win, you will receive an email notification of the win. The email will just not disclose the amount won.

I wish more winners where in small areas. Also, there should be more winners! 460 million could/should be spread over several winners of at least a million instead of 5 or less! More people would play and play on a regular basis not only when its above 300 million.

THE APP COULD USE AN INPROVEMENT. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SCAN TICKET TWICE, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO UPDATE IT TO SCAN FOR THE WINNER AS WELL TO ADD POINTS IN ONE SCAN. I BELIEVE THE LOGIC FLOW IS - IF THEN -IF WINNER SHOW WIN AND AMOUNT THEN ADD POINTS, WITH ANOTHER IF THEN, IF NOT WINNER SHOW NOT WINNER THEN ADD POINTS, ANOTHER IF THEN- IF THEN TICKET ALREADY ENTERED THEN SAY ALREADY ENTERED. ANY PROGRAMMER SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS AND FROM ANY PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. MAYBE DIFFERENT IF THENS, MAYBE EITHER OR USING PROGRAMING SWITCHS, IF NEED DEMO LET ME KNOW. JUST TELL ME THE LANGUAGE I WOULD TRY TO WRITE THE PROGRAM IF YOUR SOFTWARE PEOPLE ARE UNABLE.

How do you check your tickets purchased on line to see if you won. I called your Custer service and was told I’d receive an email. Is that accurate. NC Lottery
Hi, Cheryl. When you win, you will receive an email notifying you that you have won. For security purposes, we will not state the winning amount in the email. The amount will be displayed in your account in the Message Center.

I looked under draws icon, and there is not s Second Chance tsb. There's, JollyJsckpot, $1000 quick cash, Fall into Cash, and 10x Cash. No second chance tab. Tony A. NC Lottery
Hi Tony, we checked the app and the website and there was a second-chance option on both. On the website, there is a tab. On the app, you utilize the drop-down menu at the top. Hope that helps!

I need to take a breather after 43 years as a nurse. I almost gave myself away enjoyed every minute helping people it's a blessing.

Where can you find the second chance drawing results. NC Lottery
Under the Draws icon on your Dashboard. Make sure you use the Second-Chance tab and then adjust the filters for the result you want. If you want to see past winners, you need to filter for Expired drawings. If you only want to see results from drawings where you have entries, then check the My Entries box.
