According to the North Carolina Education Lottery (NCEL), one ticket purchased for Saturday's Powerball drawing matched all five white balls to win a $1 million prize.
The $2 ticket was purchased at the Food Mart on The Plaza in Charlotte, NCEL officials said in a news release.
And get this, the ticket was the only $1 million winner and the largest nationally in the drawing.
