Author Catherine Lane

1 Powerball player wins big in North Carolina. But he narrowly misses a huge $813 million dollar payday. This player’s Powerball ticket matched all but one itsy bitsy number in the March 25 drawing. Instead of $813 million they are walking away with $50,000. Hey, I’d take it.

According to the North Carolina Education lottery here are the winning numbers. The white ball numbers are 7,11,19,53 and 68. The red Powerball number was 23. I always like to know where that winning ticket was sold. The Charlotte Observer reports, it was sold at the Davie County town’s Farmington Road Shell in Mocksville, North Carolina. That’s about 60 miles northeast of Charlotte.
