Greer, South Carolina – A fortunate woman from South Carolina has struck gold once again, winning a $10,000 lottery prize on a scratch-off ticket just two months after a significant $200,000 windfall from a different lottery game. The latest victory comes from a $10 Big $pin ticket purchased at the Hot Spot store located on East Poinsett Street in Greer.
The woman, whose identity remains private, expressed shock and disbelief when she scratched off her ticket revealing the $10,000 prize, reportedly exclaiming, “No way.” Her astounding luck does not end there; in July, she won $200,000 from a $5 Ice Cold Bonus ticket bought at Xpress Fuel on East Wade Hampton Boulevard. Following her series of wins, she noted that her newfound fortune has alleviated some of her stress.
In addition to her wins, South Carolina lottery officials have announced four other significant lottery winners in recent weeks. Three individuals from Moncks Corner, Greer, and Surfside Beach each took home $50,000. Meanwhile, another Columbia resident won $100,000 after purchasing a ticket at the Cheapway on Shop Road. These participants matched four white ball numbers and the Powerball number drawn on September 6, with the winning numbers being 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and Powerball 17.
Winners have a window of 180 days from the drawing date to collect their respective prizes. The current Powerball jackpot is projected to be $20 million for the upcoming drawing. This marks a continuing trend of substantial prizes; the largest Powerball jackpot of the year soared to an impressive $861 million but ultimately remained unclaimed after a drawing in September.
Moreover, two individuals also found luck by matching four white numbers and the Powerball number in a recent drawing, resulting in $200,000 wins. These tickets were sold at P & P Food Mart in Greer and a Food Lion at 77 State Highway 57 South in Little River. The numbers called during that drawing were 9, 12, 22, 41, 61, with a Powerball of 25. The odds of winning with that match stand at 1 in 913,129. Players who opted for the PowerPlay multiplier option benefitted even further, with $50,000 prizes being quadrupled to $200,000 due to a drawn “4” multiplier.
The excitement continues as the next Powerball jackpot on Saturday is anticipated to reach an astounding $950 million, making it the sixth largest jackpot in the history of the game. For participants hoping to win that grand prize, the odds are daunting at 1 in 293 million.
In South Carolina, lottery winners have the option to maintain their anonymity for privacy reasons. Lottery officials strongly recommend that winners sign their lottery tickets on the back and keep them in a secure location until they are ready to claim their prize. Additionally, another headline-making winner from the $8 Million Money Maker scratch-off game was Joseph Greer, who managed to secure a $100,000 win. Joseph initially lost a $50 ticket but later won through a second chance drawing. After taxes, his winnings amounted to about $71,750, prompting him to express modest aspirations, which include purchasing better quality bologna and saving for retirement.
