Powerball ticket in Hendersonville wins $2 million

February 3, 2019 Posted by NC Lottery at 8:09 AM

Someone who bought a Powerball ticket in Hendersonville won $2 million in Saturday's Powerball drawing.

The lucky ticket was sold at the Publix on Greenville HIghway in Hendersonville. The winning numbers were 10-17-18-43-65 for the white balls and 13 for the red Powerball. The North Carolina win of $2 million was the largest prize won nationally in Saturday’s drawing.

The ticket matched all five white balls drawn to win $1 million. Because someone added the extra $1 Power Play feature, the prize doubled to $2 million. The lucky ticket beat odds of 1 in 11.7 million. 

A second big Powerball win occurred in the small community of Ararat in Surry County. A $50,000 ticket was sold at the Lil Mtn Cupboard on Little Mountain Road in Ararat. That ticket matched four of the white balls and the red Powerball, beating odds of 1 in 913,129.

Winners have 180 days from the drawing to claim their prize. 

No one won Saturday’s Powerball jackpot. The jackpot for Wednesday’s drawing will climb to $204 million, worth $124.2 million cash.

It's funny to hear a bunch of adults whine about not winning. Everyone can't win. Keep playing your time will come.

Congrats on the 2mill winner. Wonder why the winner only got 2 mill the Power Play was x5. Why didn't Player get 5 mill????Any other winnings would be amount x5. ThanksNC Lottery
Great question, Lena. Under the Powerball prize structure, the second tier prize of $1 million doubles if you have a $3 Power Play ticket. Here's a link to more info on the prize structure for Powerball: https://www.nclottery.com/PowerballHow Hope this helps!

I feel like it's now buy luck or chance I believe it rigged up because how all these countries around Winston Salem always winning and Winston is a big city like the Queen City, Raleigh, Greensboro or it's always a little town in NC that wins just don't understand when the lottery is being played just as much here NC Lottery
It's a random drawing. Everyone no matter where they buy a ticket has the same chance of winning as anyone else.

Why is the Extreme millions scratch off tickets already on pickup?NC Lottery
Hi Kristin, When a game is scheduled to be ended, our team begins picking the tickets up from more than 7,000 retailers across the state. This process takes about six weeks and must be completed before the official end date of the game, in the case of Extreme Millions, March 1.

A Question,it seems like the scratch-offs are Harder than ever to win on now?I buy it the same store every time I play,same games all r nothing,what did the Lottery do to make the game's more difficult to win on,and I noticed it kepts add numbers to cash 5? NC Lottery
The lottey paid out the most in prize money ever last year. Please remember to play for fun and that it takes lots of luck to win a big lottery prize. As for Cash 5, the lottery did improve the game last fall, increasing the starting jackpot to $100,000. With that that increase came a change in the odds. Here's where you can learn more about the Cash 5 change. http://bit.ly/2StUaKw
