Fort Mill – Three South Carolina residents have emerged as winners of $50,000 in recent Powerball drawings amid excitement over a staggering $1.8 billion jackpot. The winning tickets were purchased at local retailers, with two held by individuals from Fort Mill and Goose Creek, and a third from Greenville. As lottery enthusiasts gear up for the next drawing, which is set for Saturday night, competition and hopes are running high.

Lottery tickets for the Powerball cost $2 each, and players have until 9:59 p.m. on Saturday to purchase tickets for the drawing slated for 10:59 p.m. The current Powerball jackpot, as of Saturday afternoon, stands at a remarkable $1.8 billion. This massive sum has attracted a wave of interest across the state and beyond, with many players eager to partake in the chance for life-changing winnings.

The two winners from Fort Mill and Goose Creek, who each won $50,000, bought their tickets at a Publix Supermarket and an A Plus store, respectively. Meanwhile, the third winner, who also secured a $50,000 prize, purchased their ticket with the Double Play option at a Circle K store located in Greenville. Winners of this amount may find a significant boost to their financial situation, though claiming their prizes will involve a necessary step: presenting a claim form and a government-issued photo ID.

In addition to the Powerball winners, another notable lottery victory occurred recently in Roebuck, South Carolina. A woman won $200,000 from a scratch-off ticket while shopping at a Food Lion. Drawn to the Clemson Jackpot game by its eye-catching orange color, the woman took a chance despite not being a fan of the Clemson sports teams or a regular football viewer. After tax deductions, she received a total of $140,000 from her winnings. The odds of winning the top prize in the Clemson Jackpot game are approximately 1 in 520,000.

The South Carolina Education Lottery offers various games, including Powerball, Cash Pop, and Pick 3 Plus, providing residents with multiple opportunities to win. To claim prizes, players can secure amounts up to $500 directly at authorized retailers. However, to retrieve larger winnings, players must mail in their claims or present them in-person at the Lottery Headquarters. Those who win prizes exceeding $501 will need to provide the appropriate claim form, along with a government-issued photo ID.

All lottery prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date, ensuring that winners have a sufficient window of opportunity to secure their rewards. The excitement surrounding this higher-than-usual Powerball jackpot has inspired many South Carolinians to purchase tickets in hope of sharing in the massive prize pool.

As the night approaches for the next drawing, many residents are eagerly contemplating the possibilities that a ticket may hold. With the figures continuing to climb, all eyes will be on the jackpot, and potentially, on more winners that may emerge from South Carolina.
