With no jackpot winner in Friday’s drawing, the Mega Millions jackpot will ascend to a world-record level of $1.6 billion on Tuesday night. The cash option will be $905 million.
Friday’s drawing produced four big wins in North Carolina, occurring in Clayton, Raleigh, Weaverville and Fayetteville. They included:
- $20,000 Multiplier ticket sold at The Grocery Bag on N.C. 42 East in Clayton.
- $10,000 ticket sold at the Super Stop on Mitchell Mill Road in Raleigh.
- $10,000 ticket sold at the Citistop on Stockton Road in Weaverville.
- $10,000 ticket sold at the FastTrip on Yadkin Road in Fayetteville.
Congratulations to those lucky winners. You can pick up your prize at any regional lottery office when they open on Monday.
Nationally, the drawing produced more than 12 million prize-winning tickets, including a $3.4 million win in California, a $2 million win in Texas, and 13 additional $1 million wins.
The previous record jackpot occurred more than two and half years ago when the Powerball jackpot hit $1.58 billion in January 2016.
The current Powerball jackpot continues to grow today. The jackpot for Saturday’s drawing increased Friday to $470 million or $268.8 million cash. It is the 8th largest jackpot in the Powerball game.
Together, the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpot add up to more than $2 billion.
There’s never been a time like this before for the nation’s two jackpot games.
