Greer, South Carolina – A local woman found herself fortunate once again after winning a $10,000 lottery prize from a scratch-off ticket, just two months following a remarkable $200,000 victory. The woman’s latest win came from a $10 Big $pin ticket purchased at the Hot Spot store on East Poinsett Street. Her reaction upon revealing the winning amount was one of disbelief, as she exclaimed, “No way.”
In July, the same woman had scored her first significant win of $200,000 from a $5 Ice Cold Bonus ticket bought at Xpress Fuel on East Wade Hampton Boulevard. Following both wins, she has expressed feelings of reduced stress, highlighting the impact of her sudden financial windfalls.
Recent lottery draws in South Carolina have produced multiple winners, with lottery officials announcing several significant prizes. Players from Moncks Corner, Greer, and Surfside Beach have each secured $50,000. Additionally, a Columbia resident recently won $100,000 after purchasing a lottery ticket at the Cheapway on Shop Road.
The big Powerball drawing on September 6 featured winning numbers: 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and Powerball: 17. The winners matched four white ball numbers along with the Powerball number, qualifying them for substantial prizes. Notably, winners have a timeframe of 180 days from the drawing date to claim their winnings.
The estimated jackpot for the next Powerball drawing is projected to reach $20 million. Earlier in the year, the largest Powerball jackpot climbed to an impressive $861 million, which ultimately went unclaimed after a Wednesday night drawing.
In a previous drawing, two lottery players matched four white numbers along with the Powerball number, each winning $200,000. The winning tickets were sold at P & P Food Mart in Greer and a Food Lion located at 77 State Highway 57 South in Little River. The winning numbers for this drawing were 9, 12, 22, 41, 61, and Powerball: 25.
Players with added PowerPlay options had the potential to quadruple their prizes to $200,000 due to a “4” multiplier drawn. Winning the grand Powerball jackpot has daunting odds, estimated at 1-in-293 million.
Individuals involved in lottery draws are advised to sign the back of their tickets immediately and to store them securely until they claim their prizes. South Carolina regulations allow lottery winners to remain anonymous, ensuring a level of privacy post-win.
In addition to the high-profile wins, another $8 Million Money Maker instant game resulted in a significant payout to Joseph Greer, who won $100,000 after initially losing a $50 ticket but participating in a “second chance drawing.” Post-tax, Greer’s total earnings came to $71,750, and he expressed modest plans for his newfound funds, including purchasing better bologna and planning for retirement.
As the excitement around lottery winnings continues to grow, communities in South Carolina remain engaged, hopeful for their chance at life-changing prizes. The upcoming Powerball drawing is anticipated to attract considerable participation, bolstered by the staggering jackpot amount.
