Saturday’s Powerball raffle won a $ 1 million prize for someone who bought a ticket at a convenience store in Wake County.
The lucky ticket won the biggest national prize in Saturday’s draw.
The winner purchased a ticket to Bayleaf Convenience & Deli on Six Forks Road in Raleigh and has 180 days from the draw to redeem their prizes.
The $ 2 ticket corresponded to the numbers for all five white balls, 1-16-48-49-65. The probability of hitting all five white balls in a Powerball draw is 1 in 11.6 million.
No one won Saturday’s Powerball jackpot. The jackpot will rise to $ 42 million as an annuity or $ 31 million in cash for Wednesday’s draw. The chances of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
Players can purchase Powerball tickets through Online Play on the lottery website, www.nclottery.com, with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App or at any lottery store.
