Winners and Ticket Ownership
The winners of these substantial prizes are encouraged to sign their tickets to confirm ownership. In addition to the eight significant winners, over 200 other players across North Carolina also won smaller prizes, having matched either four of the white-ball numbers or three white-ball numbers along with the Powerball.
Lottery Sales and Online Ticketing
North Carolina’s state-run lottery has exceeded $1 billion in revenue for the third consecutive year, primarily fueled by increased ticket sales, particularly in the digital realm. According to reports, the state recorded $6.6 billion in lottery sales for the 2025 fiscal year, and nearly 40% of the total sales originated from a digital product known as Digital Instants.
The convenience of purchasing lottery tickets online has contributed to rising engagement among players, with growth in participation attributed to population increases and the allure of substantial multistate jackpots. On average, each North Carolinian spends about $421 annually on lottery tickets.
Responsible Gaming Resources
As engagement with lottery games continues to rise, the state emphasizes responsible gambling practices. Resources for problem gambling are available, including support through the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700.
The landscape of lottery gaming in North Carolina reflects a diverse array of winners and a robust market, showcasing both the excitement of winning and the commitment to responsible gaming practices.
