DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- With the Powerball jackpot increasing to a hefty $435 million, one lucky person took home $50,000 from a ticket bought in Durham.
The ticket, which matched four white balls and the red Powerball, was sold at the C-Mart on East Club Boulevard. The odds of that win are 1 in 913,129.
But that wasn't even the biggest winner in the state from Saturday night's drawing.

Both winners have 180 days to claim their prize.
The next Powerball drawing is set for Monday night. It is expected to be for $435 million.
