Greer, South Carolina – A local woman has celebrated another lottery win, scoring $10,000 from a scratch-off ticket just two months after an impressive $200,000 jackpot from a different lottery game. The latest prize was won through a $10 Big $pin ticket purchased at the Hot Spot store located on East Poinsett Street in Greer. Upon realizing she won the $10,000, the woman expressed her disbelief, uttering, “No way.”
This recent victory adds to her recent windfall, which came in July when she won the $200,000 prize from a $5 Ice Cold Bonus ticket bought from Xpress Fuel on East Wade Hampton Boulevard. After these wins, the woman described feeling “a little less stressed,” indicating a positive change in her financial circumstances.
The South Carolina lottery has been noteworthy for several winners recently. Along with the woman’s winnings, lottery officials reported four significant winners from various locations in the state. Three individuals from Moncks Corner, Greer, and Surfside Beach each won $50,000. Additionally, a player in Columbia scored $100,000 after purchasing a lottery ticket at the Cheapway on Shop Road. These winners matched four white ball numbers and the Powerball number from the September 6 drawing, which featured the numbers: 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, with a Powerball of 17.
Lottery winners have until 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prizes, and the estimated Powerball jackpot for the next drawing is projected to reach $20 million. This follows a year in which the Powerball jackpot was notably high, peaking at $861 million, which ultimately went unclaimed after a drawing earlier in the year.
Recent Lottery Highlights
In the same drawing that brought success to the Columbia player, two additional $200,000 winners emerged after matching four white numbers and the Powerball. These tickets were sold at P & P Food Mart in Greer and a Food Lion located on 77 State Highway 57 South in Little River. The winning numbers for that drawing were 9, 12, 22, 41, 61, and Powerball 25.
The odds of matching four white numbers along with the Powerball number stand at 1-in-913,129. For lottery players who opted for the PowerPlay feature, their $50,000 win was boosted to $200,000 due to a four-times multiplier drawn. Looking ahead, the anticipated Powerball jackpot for an upcoming Saturday drawing is expected to escalate to $950 million, ranking as the sixth largest in the game’s history. Players aiming for the grand prize face odds of 1-in-293 million.
Lottery Confidentiality and Advice
South Carolina’s lottery regulations allow winners to maintain their anonymity for privacy protection. Lottery officials recommend that winners sign the back of their tickets and safeguard them until they can claim their winnings. In addition to these significant prizes, another notable winner, Joseph Greer, acquired $100,000 from the $8 Million Money Maker scratch-off game. His success followed an earlier loss on a $50 ticket, which qualified him for a “second chance drawing.” After taxes, Greer received $71,750, indicating plans for modest spending including upgrading his choice of bologna and preparing for retirement.
With a surge in lottery winnings across South Carolina, players remain hopeful as they continue to try their luck in the ever-growing chances of lottery games.
