This impressive win was one of two $1 million prizes awarded nationally during the same drawing, with an additional $2 million prize claimed by a $3 Powerball ticket holder in Minnesota.

North Carolina continued its winning streak with a $50,000 victory as well. A $1 ticket purchased at the C-Mart on East Club Boulevard in Durham matched four white ball numbers and the red Powerball, defying the odds at 1 in 913,129.
