Need a little cash to start off the new year after the holidays? Don't we all. If you're willing to take a little risk the payoff could be huge! The Powerball Jackpot jumped $20 million today for a total of $630 Million as a result of high ticket sales. That would certainly pay off my bills! The tickets cost just $2 and can be purchased up until 9:59 tonight. Additionally, tickets can be purchased online at www.nclottery.com or on the NC Lottery Mobile App through 9:57 pm. The drawing will take place tonight at 10:59 tonight. You can watch the drawing on one of these stations:

- WRAL in the Triangle.
- WITN in Eastern North Carolina.
- WAXN in Charlotte.
- WGHP in the Triad.
- WLOS in Western North Carolina.

You can also tune in on Facebook. This is the 7th highest Powerball jackpot ever in North Carolina. If you won you'd take home $448.4 million as a lump sum or $630 over 29 years. I'll take that payday! Good luck if you purchase a ticket. And if this reminded you and you end up winning I'll take a couple of bucks as a thank you.
