Greer, South Carolina – A local woman has hit a remarkable streak in the world of lotteries, winning a $10,000 prize from a scratch-off ticket just two months after another substantial victory of $200,000. This recent win came from the $10 Big $pin ticket, which she purchased at the Hot Spot store located on East Poinsett Street in Greer.
The winner expressed disbelief when she revealed her prize, exclaiming, “No way!” Her earlier victory was just as impressive; she won $200,000 from a $5 Ice Cold Bonus ticket bought at Xpress Fuel on East Wade Hampton Boulevard back in July. Following these significant wins, the woman noted that her financial situation has greatly eased, stating she is “a little less stressed” now.
In addition to her victories, South Carolina lottery officials recently announced several significant winners statewide. Four players were highlighted, including three individuals from Moncks Corner, Greer, and Surfside Beach, each winning $50,000. Meanwhile, a player from Columbia claimed a notable $100,000 prize after purchasing a ticket at the Cheapway on Shop Road.
For context, these winners matched four white ball numbers and the Powerball number in the Powerball drawing held on September 6. The winning numbers for that drawing were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and the Powerball was 17. Winners of this type have a 180-day window from the drawing date to claim their rewards.
The upcoming Powerball jackpot, scheduled for Saturday, is estimated to reach $20 million, while the largest Powerball jackpot this year had once grown to an astounding $861 million, which ultimately went unclaimed following a Wednesday night drawing. Additionally, in a recent drawing, two winners managed to match four white numbers and the Powerball—winning tickets for these prizes were sold at P & P Food Mart in Greer and a Food Lion location in Little River. The winning numbers for that drawing were 9, 12, 22, 41, 61, with the Powerball number being 25.
The odds of successfully matching four white numbers along with the Powerball number stood at 1 in 913,129. Players who opted for the PowerPlay option had their potential $50,000 winnings quadrupled to $200,000 due to a drawn multiplier of four.
Looking ahead, the next Powerball jackpot is projected to reach $950 million, which would be the sixth largest prize in the game’s history. For reference, the odds of winning the grand prize are 1 in 293 million.
In South Carolina, lottery winners are allowed the option to remain anonymous. Lottery officials advise those who win to sign the back of their tickets and keep them in a secure location until they are ready to claim their prizes. Furthermore, another notable winner recently emerged from the $8 Million Money Maker scratch-off game. Joseph Greer won $100,000, although he initially lost a $50 ticket. He participated in a “second chance drawing,” which ultimately led to his substantial win. After taxes, Greer’s take-home amount was $71,750, and he has shared modest plans for his winnings, including aspirations to buy better food and prepare for retirement.
