The lone winning ticket for Saturday night's $344.6 million Powerball jackpot was purchased in North Carolina, lottery officials confirmed Sunday.

The lucky ticket was sold at Carlie C's grocery store in Hope Mills, outside Fayetteville. It's the only one that matched all six winning numbers exactly, with 6-15-34-45-52 and Powerball 8, according to the N.C. Education Lottery.

Carlie C's is eligible to receive a $50,000 retailer incentive award for selling the winning ticket, according to the statement.

The winner, who has yet to come forward has 180 days to claim their prize money and can either receive their winnings as a lump sum of $223.3 million or in installments of an estimated $344.6 million over 30 payments.
