North Carolina Powerball Tickets Win $1 Million and $200K as Jackpot Climbs to $633 Million

Two lucky Powerball tickets sold in North Carolina scored big wins in Saturday night's drawing, with one worth $1 million and another worth $200,000. As of Sunday morning, neither prize had been claimed.

The biggest winner was a $1 million ticket purchased at Tobacco Plus on East Macon Street in Warrenton. The lucky $2 ticket matched all five white ball numbers, earning the impressive prize. The odds of hitting all five white balls are about 1 in 11.6 million.

Another winning ticket, worth $200,000, was sold at the Speedway on North Brightleaf Boulevard in Smithfield, Johnston County. The $3 ticket included the Power Play option, boosting the prize amount.

Here's what winners should know:

  • $1 million winning ticket sold in Warrenton.
  • $200,000 Power Play ticket sold in Smithfield.
  • The $1 million winner has 180 days from the drawing date to claim the prize.

Meanwhile, the excitement keeps building. Since no one hit the grand prize, the Powerball jackpot has grown to an estimated $633 million for the Monday, July 27, 2026 drawing. Winners can also choose a $277.3 million cash option.

While these prizes are life-changing, the top jackpot remains incredibly difficult to win. The odds of hitting the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292 million.
