The North Carolina Education Lottery has reported that Powerball players can try their luck Wednesday night, March 12, 2025 on a $353 million jackpot.

A winner Wednesday night could claim the jackpot as a $353 million annuity or $165.7 million in cash.

Even though the jackpot remains up for grabs, North Carolina players continue to win other big prizes playing Powerball. One lucky $3 Power Play ticket in Monday’s drawing won $100,000. The ticket came from the Harris Teeter on Robinwood Road in Gastonia.

“We have seen lots of nice wins recently for Powerball players in North Carolina,” said Mark Michalko, chief executive officer of the N.C. Education Lottery. “We are hoping to see a big jackpot win here tonight.”

North Carolina Powerball numbers:

• 12,311: That’s the total number of winning tickets in North Carolina in Monday’s Powerball drawing.
• $6.4 million: That’s the estimate of how much money has been raised for education in North Carolina during the current Powerball run.

Powerball has gone 22 straight drawings without a jackpot win.

Players can buy Powerball tickets at any lottery retail location or through Online Play on the lottery’s website, nclottery.com. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
