Columbia, South Carolina – The South Carolina Education Lottery has announced substantial winnings from recent draw games, including a significant $100,000 win in Powerball and a $30,000 Mega Millions prize, following the latest results from September 14, 2025.
In the recent Powerball drawing, a single ticket sold in Columbia with PowerPlay secured the top prize of $100,000.

The winning Powerball numbers were 11 – 23 – 44 – 61 – 62, with a Powerball of 17 and a PowerPlay factor of 2. The winning tickets for the $50,000 prizes were purchased at:

Players in South Carolina have multiple avenues to claim their lottery prizes, depending on the amount won. Prizes up to $500 can be redeemed at any authorized South Carolina Education Lottery retailer. For wins ranging from $501 to $100,000, players must mail a signed ticket, a completed claim form, and a government-issued ID to the lottery claims center. For amounts exceeding $100,000, winners are required to claim their prizes in person at the South Carolina Education Lottery Headquarters in Columbia. In all cases for larger winnings, claimants must also present a Social Security card and may arrange for an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) to receive their prizes via direct deposit. All claims must be made within 180 days of the draw date for each game.
This recent surge in lottery winnings adds to a series of significant payouts in South Carolina. Earlier this year, a $212,000 Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot was awarded in August, and in July, a $500,000 Money Madness Extra Play scratch-off win occurred at the Refuel store in Darlington. The Refuel store has also seen other substantial payouts, including a $50,000 scratch-off win, coupled with smaller prizes from various lottery games—such as a $2,900 Pick 4 win, a $900 Palmetto Cash 5 win, and a $1,000 win from a Million Dollar Mania scratch-off.
With these latest victories, the South Carolina Education Lottery continues to generate excitement among players, highlighting the potential for big wins that accompany participation in state lottery games. Participants are reminded to check their tickets promptly and understand the necessary steps for claiming prizes to ensure they do not miss out on winnings.
