Someone in Outer Banks lucky enough to win $1 million from Powerball, NC Lottery says
Good fortune is smiling on someone.
In addition to being in the Outer Banks in the past week, a person who spent time along the North Carolina coast is also a million dollars richer.
A $1 million winning ticket was sold in an Outer Banks convenience store in the past week, the North Carolina Education Lottery tweeted.
The person who bought the ticket at a Circle K in Kill Devil Hills has yet to come forward to claim their prize, lottery officials said.
The North Carolina Lottery said the ticket, sold for $2, matched the five white balls in the Powerball drawing, overcoming odds of 1-in-11.6 million, WFMY reported.
To win the entire prize, a person must match the five white balls, plus the red Powerball.
The winning numbers in the Powerball drawing were 13-23-32-35-68 and Powerball 21, according to the North Carolina Lottery.
The lottery’s prize distribution page also shows that a $50,000 winning Powerball ticket in Saturday night’s drawing was sold in North Carolina. That ticket had four matching white balls in addition to the same Powerball number.
A person who bought a ticket in Tennessee matched all the numbers and won the $198 million jackpot, WAVY reported.
The North Carolina winners have 180 days to claim their prizes, and the Powerball jackpot will be $40 for Wednesday’s drawing, according to WRAL.
