The $1.8 billion jackpot has heightened interest and ticket sales across the state and nationwide, with many hopeful players aiming for a life-changing win.

Powerball Winners and Ticket Locations

Three South Carolina players emerged as winners of $50,000 each in the recent Powerball draw. Two of these winners purchased their tickets at local stores, including a Publix Super Market in Fort Mill and an A Plus store in Goose Creek. The third winner bought a ticket with the Double Play option at a Circle K store in Greenville.

The Double Play feature, which offers an additional chance to win with the same ticket, contributed to this particular win. The winners matched the five main numbers but did not hit the Powerball jackpot, which remains unclaimed at this time.

The current Powerball jackpot has soared to an estimated $1.8 billion, making it one of the largest prizes in lottery history. This high jackpot value has fueled increased ticket sales and heightened anticipation among players seeking a massive payout.

Additional Lottery Winnings in South Carolina

Alongside the Powerball winners, a woman in Roebuck won a $200,000 prize from a scratch-off ticket she purchased during a grocery shopping trip. The woman played the Clemson Jackpot game, which she was drawn to because of its distinctive orange color—despite not being a Clemson football fan or following the sport regularly.

The odds of winning the top prize in the Clemson Jackpot scratch-off game are 1 in 520,000. After applicable taxes, her winnings amounted to $140,000, which she received after claiming the prize through proper channels.

How to Claim Prizes and Lottery Rules

The South Carolina Education Lottery offers several games, including Powerball, Cash Pop, and Pick 3 Plus. Winners can claim prizes up to $500 directly at authorized retail stores. For prize amounts exceeding this, winners are required to claim their winnings by mailing in a claim form or visiting the Lottery Headquarters in person.

To claim prizes over $501, players must present a valid government-issued photo ID and complete a claim form. All claims must be made within 180 days of the drawing date, underscoring the importance of prompt action for winners.

Summary

As the Powerball jackpot continues to climb toward $1.8 billion, several South Carolina residents have already scored notable wins, including three individual winners of $50,000 in recent draws and a woman who claimed $140,000 after taxes from a scratch-off game. The lottery remains active, with ticket sales ongoing until the upcoming Saturday night draw, offering residents a chance to become one of the next big winners.
