The night before St. Patrick’s Day, Donald Dotzler Jr. of Kill Devil Hills tried his luck on a Powerball Quick Pick ticket and won a $100,000 prize, according to a press release from the North Carolina Education Lottery.
Dotzler’s $2 ticket matched numbers on four of the white balls and the Powerball in the March 17 drawing. The odds of matching four white balls and the Powerball in a drawing are 1 in 913,129.
Dotzler purchased his winning ticket through Online Play on the lottery’s website.
He claimed his prize Friday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh and took home $70,751 after required federal and state tax withholdings.
No one won Wednesday’s Powerball jackpot. The jackpot stands at $200 million as an annuity or $136.5 million cash for Saturday’s drawing. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
