The entire nation is chasing the grand prize, which now ranks as one of the largest Powerball jackpots in history. National Winners Secure $1 Million+ Prizes While the multi-billion-dollar dream remains alive, several players across the U.S. successfully secured prizes of $1 million or more in the recent draw:
One ticket in New Jersey won $2 million by matching the five white balls and using the Power Play option. Tickets in Florida, Georgia, and Texas each matched the five white balls to claim $1 million.
North Carolina Sees Its Own Six-Figure Wins
North Carolina players contributed significantly to the prize pool and had their own luck closer to home: Two separate tickets sold in the state successfully matched four white balls plus the red Powerball.
One ticket won $50,000, and the other, which used the Power Play option (with a multiplier of 2x), doubled its prize to $100,000.These wins confirm that participation is high across
North Carolina as excitement builds for the Monday night draw. Every ticket purchased in the Tar Heel State helps generate money for education statewide, from the mountains of WNC to the coast.
