RALEIGH, North Carolina — Eight Powerball players in North Carolina are celebrating after matching all but one number in the latest drawing held on September 6, 2023, where the jackpot soared to an impressive $1.8 billion. Each of the affected players will receive a prize of $50,000, while three opted for the Power Play option, effectively doubling their winnings to $100,000.

The winning numbers for the drawing were: white balls—11, 23, 44, 61, 62—and the red Powerball was 17. The fortunate tickets that won the top prizes were purchased for between $2 and $3.

The $100,000 winning tickets were sold at the following locations:

Food Lion in Angier
Speedy Mart in Forest City
An online player in Durham

Meanwhile, the $50,000 winning tickets were sold at:

Food Lion in Fayetteville
Circle K in Kernersville
Foust Corner Market in Mebane
An online player in Angier
An online player in Raleigh

In addition to these significant wins, over 200 other players in North Carolina also struck it lucky by winning smaller prizes. These included players who matched either four white-ball numbers or three white-ball numbers along with the Powerball.

The staggering $1.8 billion jackpot was ultimately claimed by two winners in Missouri and Texas, who will share the grand prize. Following this drawing, the Powerball jackpot has now been reset to $20 million for the next event.

Winners of the game are reminded to sign their tickets to establish ownership, a critical step to ensure their prizes can be claimed. The recent drawing highlights the booming lottery system in North Carolina, which has exceeded $1 billion in sales for the third consecutive year, aided by the growth in digital sales.

For the fiscal year 2025, state lottery sales reached a record $6.6 billion, with nearly 40% of these sales coming from its digital lottery product, known as Digital Instants. This digital platform enhances the convenience for lottery players, allowing them to purchase tickets online and significantly increases engagement, particularly with large multistate jackpots.

The lottery’s success can also be attributed to the growing population in the state and increased player involvement, with the average spending on lottery tickets per North Carolinian estimated at $421 annually. However, it’s crucial for players to remain responsible, and resources for problem gambling are available through the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700.

The excitement surrounding the Powerball continues to engage North Carolina’s residents, and with the reset jackpot, many are eager to take a chance at winning life-changing prizes in the upcoming draws.
