Powerball player wins $100,000 in North Carolina. Where was the lucky ticket sold?

A Powerball ticket sold in North Carolina won $100,000, just missing the $194 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched four winning numbers, the Powerball and the Power Play multiplier in the drawing Saturday, Oct. 4, the North Carolina Education Lottery said.

The lucky ticket was sold at a MAPCO service station in Waynesville, which is about a 30-mile drive west from Asheville.

The winning numbers were 3, 7, 47, 67 and 68 with a Powerball of 2. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.

Powerball jackpot rises

Nobody won the jackpot, which rises to an estimated $207 million, with a cash value of about $96.9 million, for the next drawing Monday, Oct. 6, the national Powerball site said.

Nearly 550,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000, the lottery said.

The Powerball jackpot was last won Sept. 6, when players in Missouri and Texas split the $1.787 billion grand prize.

What to know about Powerball

To score a jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball.

Drawings are broadcast Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed online.

Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
