Powerball ticket worth $250,000 is sold in North Carolina. Here's where
A Powerball player just missed the jackpot — but still scored a huge prize in North Carolina.
The player bought a ticket that matched all but one number picked in the June 16 drawing. Since the person spent an extra dollar on the Power Play option, their $50,000 prize rose to $250,000, the N.C. Education Lottery wrote on its website and on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The winning numbers: white balls 17-21-23-27-52, with red Powerball 19.
So, where was the lucky ticket sold? It came from the Food Lion grocery store in Dunn, a roughly 40-mile drive south from Raleigh, a lottery spokesperson told McClatchy News via email.
The player won big after their $3 ticket matched four white balls and the red ball. The 5X multiplier also was drawn, which increased the prize amount for people who opted for Power Play.
While the Dunn player has a lot to celebrate, their ticket was was one number from scoring the jackpot prize. No one hit the jackpot, which stood at an estimated $90 million the night of the drawing, according to the Powerball website.
Officials shared news of the win early June 17, before the lucky ticket holder would have been able to claim their prize. In North Carolina, Powerball winners have about six months to cash in, rules show.
What to know about Powerball
