The next Powerball drawing is tomorrow night. And we're about to give you a little incentive to go out and buy a ticket. Victor Poplin is North Carolina's first one million lottery winner as he matched five numbers in Wednesday night's Powerball drawing. He collected his check Thursday at lottery state headquarters in Raleigh. Now after taxes, Poplin will take home about 680 thousand dollars. Poplin's lucky ticket was among eight that matched five numbers, earning its owners $200,000. But Poplin also chose an extra $1 dollar game which multiplied his winnings by five. In all, three winning Powerball tickets were sold in North Carolina. Remember you can catch Saturday's winning numbers right here on Eyewitness News Nine Weekend Edition.
