Although no one has won the Powerball Jackpot, there are eight people in North Carolina who are celebrating their wins.
A Greensboro, North Carolina winner won $150,000 after purchasing a $3 Power Play ticket from the Kwik Trip on East Wendover Avenue.
Another winner in Asheboro, North Carolina won themselves $150,000 as well, after purchasing their ticket online on the lottery's website. Six others in North Carolina won $50,000 in Elm City, Cary, Benson, Marshall, Havelock, and Wilmington.
With no one claiming the grand prize the total jackpot jumps up to $1.9 billion for Monday's drawing, a record high and world's largest jackpot ever.
Mark Michalko, executive director of the N.C. Education Lottery said “We’ve never seen a jackpot go this high before. Remember, to get your chance at winning it, it only takes a single $2 or $3 ticket. Play smart and have fun dreaming about what you would do if you won.”
The next drawing is Monday, November 7.
