Greer, South Carolina—Woman Wins $10,000 Lottery Prize Just Two Months After $200,000 Win
A resident of Greer, South Carolina, has claimed a $10,000 prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket, marking her second significant lottery win within two months. The woman purchased the $10 Big $pin ticket at the Hot Spot store on East Poinsett Street in Greer. She reported disbelief upon revealing her winnings, stating, “No way.”
Recent Lottery Successes in South Carolina
The woman’s recent victory follows her earlier substantial win in July, when she secured $200,000 from a different lottery game. That earlier prize came from a $5 Ice Cold Bonus ticket bought at Xpress Fuel on East Wade Hampton Boulevard. Since her wins, she has expressed feeling less stressed, signifying a positive impact on her personal circumstances.
Other Notable Lottery Wins in the State
Recently, South Carolina lottery officials announced four other large wins, including three players from Moncks Corner, Greer, and Surfside Beach who each won $50,000. Additionally, a player in Columbia claimed a $100,000 prize after purchasing a ticket at the Cheapway store on Shop Road.
All these winners achieved their prizes by matching four white ball numbers along with the Powerball number in the same drawing.
Details of the September 6 Powerball Drawing
The Powerball drawing held on September 6 featured winning numbers: 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, with Powerball: 17. Those who matched four white ball numbers and the Powerball had the chance to win $50,000, with some adding the PowerPlay option to increase their winnings.
Adding the PowerPlay option at the time of purchase quadrupled the $50,000 prize to $200,000 due to a “4” multiplier drawn for that game.
Prizes from these recent wins must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing date.
Upcoming Powerball Jackpot and Overall Lottery Odds
The upcoming Powerball jackpot for the next draw is estimated at $20 million. The jackpot has been climbing steadily, with the largest Powerball jackpot of the year reaching $861 million. That massive prize went unclaimed after a Wednesday night draw.
The next Powerball jackpot scheduled for Saturday could reach $950 million, making it the sixth-largest prize in the game’s history.
The odds of winning the Powerball grand prize are approximately 1 in 293 million. For players aiming to match four white ball numbers plus the Powerball, the odds are about 1 in 913,129.
Other Noteworthy Wins and Tips for Jackpot Claiming
Recently, two additional $200,000 winners matched four white numbers and the Powerball in separate draws. These tickets were sold at P & P Food Mart in Greer and at a Food Lion located at 77 State Highway 57 South in Little River. The winning numbers for the Wednesday drawing were 9, 12, 22, 41, 61, with Powerball 25.
South Carolina allows lottery winners to remain anonymous for privacy purposes. Officials advise winners to sign the back of their tickets and keep them in a safe place until they can claim their winnings.
Other Significant Lottery Winnings
In addition, a noteworthy win occurred in the $8 Million Money Maker scratch-off game, where Joseph Greer from South Carolina won $100,000. Greer initially lost a $50 ticket but entered a “second chance drawing,” which granted him the larger prize. After taxes, his net amount was approximately $71,750.
Greer shared modest plans for his winnings, including purchasing better bologna and preparing for retirement, highlighting the straightforward approach many lottery winners adopt.
