The Powerball has been generous to local players in North Carolina, with a player now scooping a $1 million payout off a single $2 ticket.
Purchased from Fast Phil’s on Charlotte Highway in Mooresville, the ticket fetched a $1 million prize on the spot at odds of 1 in 11.6 million.
No further details have been provided about the person who may have won the jackpot, with the estimated Powerball jackpot now sitting at around $146 million.
Winning the Powerball jackpot has odds of 1 in 292 million, so pretty slim through and through.
This is hardly the largest amount to have been won locally recently. In fact, a Powerball jackpot dropped in January, fetching its winner a $209.3 million prize.
While the person had stepped forward to claim the money, they did exercise their right to remain anonymous for a period of 90 days, which is granted to any winner who scoops up a prize larger than $50 million.
Another great North Carolina jackpot story was announced by the state lottery just a few days back, with a woman claiming a $768,201 prize off a $3 ticket for the Wheel of Fortune instant game.
