Greer, South Carolina — Woman Wins $10,000 Lottery Prize After Recent $200,000 Win
A woman from Greer, South Carolina, recently claimed a $10,000 prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket, just two months after winning $200,000 from a different lottery game.

Recent Lottery Wins in South Carolina
The woman secured her $10,000 prize by purchasing a $10 Big $pin scratch-off ticket from the Hot Spot store located on East Poinsett Street in Greer. Upon scratching the ticket, she expressed disbelief at winning the amount, emphasizing her surprise with a comment that roughly translated to “No way.”
Her previous notable lottery success came in July when she won $200,000 from a $5 Ice Cold Bonus ticket. That ticket was bought at Xpress Fuel on East Wade Hampton Boulevard. Following her latest wins, the woman mentioned feeling less stressed about her financial situation.
Other Major Recent Lottery Wins Across South Carolina
State lottery officials have highlighted four recent significant wins across South Carolina, including three players from Moncks Corner, Greer, and Surfside Beach each winning $50,000. In addition, a player in Columbia managed to win $100,000 after purchasing a ticket from the Cheapway on Shop Road. All these winners matched four white ball numbers along with the Powerball number in their respective drawings.
Powerball Drawings and Big Jackpots
The Powerball game’s latest drawing on September 6 produced winning numbers: 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, with Powerball 17. The winners from this draw have 180 days to claim their prizes. Currently, the estimated Powerball jackpot for the subsequent drawing is $20 million.
The largest Powerball jackpot for the year previously reached $861 million but went unclaimed after a Wednesday night drawing, underscoring the huge payout potential of the game.
Recent Notable Winners and Tickets
In recent Powerball drawings, two tickets sold at P & P Food Mart in Greer and a Food Lion at 77 State Highway 57 South in Little River each matched four white numbers and the Powerball to win $200,000 after the addition of the PowerPlay option. The winning numbers for the Wednesday drawing were 9, 12, 22, 41, 61, with Powerball 25.
The odds of matching all four white ball numbers plus the Powerball are approximately 1-in-913,129. When players add the PowerPlay multiplier, prizes can increase significantly, with one recent winner seeing their payout quadruple to $200,000.
Upcoming Jackpots and Odds of Winning
The next Powerball jackpot is projected to reach $950 million for the upcoming Saturday drawing, making it the sixth-largest jackpot in the game’s history. The odds of winning the grand prize remain extremely slim at approximately 1-in-293 million.
Privacy and Prize Claims in South Carolina
In South Carolina, lottery winners are allowed to remain anonymous to protect their privacy. Lottery officials advise winners to sign the back of their tickets immediately and keep them safe until they can claim their winnings within the 180-day window.
Other Notable Wins
Another recent significant win involved the $8 Million Money Maker scratch-off game, where Joseph Greer from Greer won $100,000. Initially, Greer lost a $50 ticket but entered a ‘second chance drawing,’ which transferred his loss into a winning opportunity, ultimately awarding him $100,000, or $71,750 after taxes.
Greer shared his simple plans for his winnings, including improving his grocery choices and preparing for retirement, illustrating how some winners choose modest lifestyles despite large game prizes.
Summary
This wave of big wins in South Carolina signifies the ongoing appeal of lottery games and the potential for substantial payouts. With the next Powerball jackpot nearing $1 billion, players remain hopeful, while officials remind participants of the slim odds and the importance of responsible gambling. As winners claim their prizes, they often report relief and cautious optimism about their future.
