If somebody in North Carolina wins the jackpot in the next drawing on Saturday, they have the selection of taking their prize as a $457 million annuity or a lump sum of $331.six million.
New Jersey and Texas require the money/annuity decision to be produced when playing in New Jersey, an annuity ticket can be changed to money immediately after winning, when in Texas, the decision is binding.
Prizes need to be claimed inside 180 days from the date of the drawing.
Tickets sold in Arizona, California, Florida and Maryland matched all 5 white balls to win the second-tier prize.
Lisa wrote the numbers down, watched the drawing and triple-checked the numbers before startling John awake with the news.
