Excitement is rising here at the lottery as both the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots continue to swell.
Tonight’s Mega Millions jackpot has hit $252 million, or $148.6 if taken as a lump sum. On Wednesday, the Powerball jackpot stands at $163 million, or $96.4 million in cash.
We’ve had six jackpot winners from North Carolina, and are hoping for number seven.
So far, four North Carolinians have won the Powerball jackpot, with wins ranging from $74.5 to $188 million, and two people have won the Mega Millions jackpot, taking home prizes of $12 million and $57 million.
Even if you don’t win the jackpot, you still have a chance at winning a big prize. There are nine ways to win when you play either game.
So good luck, and don’t forget to check your ticket!
