News Summary

A local woman from Greer recently celebrated her second significant lottery win this summer, winning $10,000 from a scratch-off ticket. This follows a remarkable $200,000 victory just two months prior. Once again, South Carolina’s lottery showcases exciting wins, as numerous players are also claiming large prizes across the state, reflecting the growing allure and success of lottery games.

Greer, South Carolina – A local woman recently celebrated her second significant lottery win of the summer, taking home a $10,000 prize from a scratch-off ticket only two months after scoring $200,000 from another lottery game. This remarkable run highlights the exciting wins occurring in South Carolina’s lottery in recent weeks.

The latest victory came from a $10 Big $pin scratch-off ticket purchased at the Hot Spot store located on East Poinsett Street in Greer. Upon revealing her $10,000 prize on the scratch-off, the woman expressed disbelief, stating she was unable to comprehend her good fortune. Her earlier win, amounting to $200,000, was gained from a $5 Ice Cold Bonus ticket bought at Xpress Fuel on East Wade Hampton Boulevard in July.

After these consecutive wins, the woman noted that she felt “a little less stressed,” a sentiment many lottery winners share when they experience sudden financial relief. South Carolina’s lottery officials have announced several significant winners recently, elevating the excitement for players throughout the state.

In the midst of these lottery successes, three other players from Moncks Corner, Greer, and Surfside Beach each won $50,000, while a player in Columbia claimed $100,000 after purchasing a winning ticket at Cheapway on Shop Road. To achieve this level of success, these winners matched four white ball numbers in the Powerball drawing that occurred on September 6, alongside the Powerball number.

The winning combination for the Powerball drawing was 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and Powerball 17. Those fortunate enough to win have a timeframe of 180 days from the drawing date to claim their respective prizes. Meanwhile, the estimated Powerball jackpot for the upcoming drawing is expected to reach an impressive $20 million.

This year, the largest Powerball jackpot ballooned to $861 million, an amount that ultimately went unclaimed after a drawing that took place on a Wednesday night. In the same drawing, two players matched four white ball numbers along with the Powerball, earning $200,000 each. Winning tickets for this drawing were sold at P & P Food Mart in Greer and a Food Lion on State Highway 57 South in Little River.

The announced winning numbers for the recent Wednesday drawing were 9, 12, 22, 41, 61, and Powerball 25. Lottery officials noted the odds of matching four white balls and the Powerball number is approximately 1 in 913,129. For those who opted for the PowerPlay feature, their $50,000 prizes were quadrupled to $200,000 thanks to a drawn multiplier of “4.”

The upcoming Powerball jackpot on Saturday is projected to reach $950 million, marking it as the sixth largest in the game’s history. The odds of winning the grand prize remain extremely challenging, standing at 1 in 293 million.

In South Carolina, lottery winners are permitted to maintain their anonymity for privacy reasons. Lottery officials recommend that winners sign the back of their tickets and keep them in a secure place until they are ready to claim their winnings.

Additionally, another noteworthy winner emerged from the $8 Million Money Maker scratch-off game. Joseph Greer won $100,000, which came about after initially losing a $50 ticket. However, he entered a “second chance drawing” that provided him with an unexpected windfall. After accounting for taxes, Greer received a payout of approximately $71,750. He indicated modest aspirations for his winnings, which included buying better quality bologna and planning for his retirement, illustrating the varied ways lottery winnings can impact lives.
