A Powerball ticket sold at Candy’s Exxon on Carolina Beach Road in Wilmington matched four white<br />
balls and the Power Ball in the Saturday, Feb. 6 drawing. The ticket is worth $30,000 because it was<br />
Power Played and the multiplier was three. Another ticket matched four out of five white balls and the<br />
Powerball but was not Power Played, making it worth $10,000. It was sold at Food Lion on Old Mountain<br />
Road in Statesville.<br />
A Jacksonville man said he was stunned to become a $200,000 Powerball winner after his ticket<br />
matched all five white balls in the Feb. 3 drawing. Troy Price told NCEL officials he planned to deposit his<br />
winnings in the bank and put them toward college savings. He purchased his winning ticket, worth<br />
$136,000 after taxes, at the Handee Hugo on Western Boulevard in Jacksonville.<br />
Aside from the $141 million winning ticket, a total of 49,891 North Carolina Powerball players won prizes<br />
in the Saturday, Feb. 6 Powerball drawing ranging from $3 to $1,000,000 for a total payout in prizes worth<br />
over $1.3 million. Because the Powerball jackpot prize was won, the jackpot amount for the Wednesday,<br />
Feb. 10 Powerball drawing is $20 million.<br />
A total of 9,860 North Carolina Mega Millions players won prizes in the Friday, Feb. 5 Mega Millions<br />
drawing ranging from $3 to $600 for a total payout in prizes worth $77,960. Because no tickets matched<br />
all five white balls and the Mega Ball, the jackpot for the Tuesday, Feb. 9 Mega Millions drawing is an<br />
estimated $32 million. Tickets first went on sale for Mega Millions on Sunday, Jan. 31. Mega Millions<br />
drawings are held Tuesday and Friday nights.<br />
