For prizes exceeding $100,000, claimants must visit the South Carolina Education Lottery Headquarters in person with the necessary documentation, which includes a winning ticket, claim form, ID, and Social Security card.

Players are required to select six numbers: five white balls ranging from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball from 1 to 26.

Powerball drawings occur three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evening.
