Three people in North Carolina won $150,000 prizes in the Saturday, Dec. 20, Powerball drawing and one of them got their $3 ticket at a Harris Teeter in Charlotte, according to the North Carolina Education Lottery.

Another Powerball ticket sold in Charlotte won $50,000 in Saturday’s drawing, officials said. Details of where it was purchased were not released.
