If you purchased a Powerball ticket for Saturday's drawing in Charlotte you could be the lucky winner. Someone who bought a Powerball ticket at a Charlotte grocery store won a $1 million prize. the ticket was purchased at the Harris Teeter on South Tryon Street. The winner paid $2 for the ticket and matched all 5 of the white balls. The odds of that is 1 in 11.6 million. But since it didn't match the Powerball number the total jackpot grows to $89 million. The odds of winning that? 1 in 292 million.

You can check your numbers on the lottery app, at a local store, or here. Looking to play? You can buy Powerball or Mega Millions tickets at any lottery retail location, through Online Play on the lottery’s website or by using the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.
