RALEIGH, N.C. – North Carolina lottery officials say a woman has come forward to present one of three winning tickets for a $564 million Powerball jackpot drawn earlier this month.
The N.C. Education Lottery has scheduled a news conference for 2 p.m. Monday to reveal the identity of the lucky bearer of one of the three winning tickets sold for the Feb. 11 drawing. She will get $188 million if an annuity payment is chosen or $127 million if a lump sum payment is chosen.
Another ticket-holder in Puerto Rico has elected to remain anonymous, while the owner of a winning ticket sold in Texas has not yet come forward.
