In recent weeks, lottery enthusiasts have been buzzing with excitement as several lucky winners across North Carolina, Rhode Island, and Kentucky have struck it big with the Powerball and Lucky for Life games. In North Carolina, a Powerball ticket purchased in Anson County won a staggering $100 million jackpot. The winning ticket, sold at the Circle K store in Wadesboro, matched all five white balls, with the numbers drawn being 14, 19, 22, 31, and 37. Additionally, North Carolina Education Lottery officials revealed that the player has the option of receiving their winnings as an annuity paid over 30 years or a lump sum payment of approximately $55.5 million. Lottery officials expressed their excitement but urged all players to remember to check their tickets. Meanwhile, in Rhode Island, the Lucky for Life game yielded a $25,000 prize per year for life after a ticket sold at Stop & Shop in East Providence matched the five winning numbers: 6, 12, 18, 24, and 32. This win follows other recent good fortune in Rhode Island, where state lottery has seen a surge in players participating in the games. Lastly, in Kentucky, Powerball fever reached a new peak as tickets were flying off the shelves with another $1 million winning ticket sold at the Kroger store in Independence. The ticket matched the first five numbers in a recent draw, excluding the Powerball number. This win comes amid a nationwide surge in Powerball ticket sales, as players seek their shot at the growing jackpot. As more and more players dream of winning life-changing sums, lottery officials across the states continue to remind everyone that there is always a chance to win and to play responsibly.
