ANSON COUNTY, N.C. — One lucky person bought a winning $2 million Powerball ticket in Anson County.
Officials said the ticket was bought at the Speedway on East Caswell Street in Wadesboro and won the big prize after Saturday night’s drawing. Two other tickets bought in Delaware and Texas won the largest prize nationally in the drawing.
The $3 Power Play ticket matched all numbers on all five white balls to win the $1 million prize. And since it was a Power Play ticket, the prize was doubled to $2 million. The odds of matching all five white balls are 1 in 11.6 million.
The winner now has 180 days from the drawing to claim the prize.
No one won Saturday night’s $120 million jackpot, which now sits at $131 million.
