The North Carolina Education Lottery has reported on a big Powerball win by an eastern North Carolina man.

Hovies Dillahunt, of New Bern, tried his luck on a $3 Power Play ticket and won a $150,000 prize.

Dillahunt bought his lucky ticket from the Circle K on Simmons Street in New Bern. He matched the numbers on four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000 in the Dec. 4, 2023 drawing. His prize tripled to $150,000 when the 3X multiplier hit.

He arrived Wednesday, January 4, 2024 to claim his prize and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $107,251.
