A small-town stop turned into a $2 million payday for one lucky Powerball player in North Carolina.

The winning ticket was picked up at a local gas station in Dover, and it delivered big during the Monday, March 16 drawing.

Here’s what made it a huge win:

• The player matched all five white balls: 7, 10, 20, 47, 52

• The Powerball was 20

• A 2X multiplier doubled the usual $1 million prize to $2 million

While no one hit the jackpot that night—estimated at $89 million—the excitement didn’t stop there. The next drawing saw the prize climb to $101 million, keeping the momentum going.

Powerball drawings happen three times a week—Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. EST—and the jackpot keeps growing until someone lands the big one.

 

As for Dover? It’s a quiet spot in Craven County, not far from the coast—now with a pretty big lottery story to tell.
