The NC Lottery posted the Wednesday, June 24, 2026 Powerball numbers as 13-14-16-21-38, with Powerball 14 and Power Play 2. Players checking tickets now have the numbers they need to see whether the drawing matched anything on their slips.
The timing matters because Powerball results are only useful when people can compare them quickly against what they bought. The NC Lottery offers several draw games, but this draw centered on Powerball, the game whose posted numbers decide who gets to start a claim and who keeps waiting for the next one.
What the notice does not say is whether the June 24 drawing produced a jackpot winner or how many tickets matched any prize level. That gap leaves the numbers as the only firm takeaway for now: 13-14-16-21-38, with Powerball 14 and Power Play 2. For anyone holding a ticket, the next step is simple. Prizes up to $599 can be redeemed at all North Carolina Lottery retailers. Prizes over $599 can be submitted by mail or in person at North Carolina Lottery Offices.
Mail claims for prizes over $599 require a prize claim form, a signed lottery ticket, copies of a government-issued photo ID, and a social security card. Claims under $600 do not require copies of a photo ID or a social security card. If a winning ticket is worth more, the claim can go to the Asheville Regional Office & Claim Center, the Greensboro Regional Office & Claim Center, the Charlotte Regional Office & Claim Center, the Greenville Regional Office & Claim Center or the Wilmington Regional Office & Claim Center, each of which can cash prizes up to $99,999. NC Lottery Headquarters in Raleigh can cash prizes of any amount.
For players in North Carolina, the posted numbers are the only immediate answer. Whether the drawing also produced a jackpot winner is the question the results notice leaves open, and that is the one winners will be watching as they check their tickets and decide where to claim.
