Greer, South Carolina – A local woman has won a $10,000 prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket, marking her second significant win in just two months. The winner purchased the $10 Big $pin ticket from the Hot Spot store located on East Poinsett Street in Greer. She expressed disbelief upon discovering her win, reacting with a simple, “No way.”
This latest victory comes shortly after she won $200,000 from a different lottery game in July. That win was derived from a $5 Ice Cold Bonus ticket bought from Xpress Fuel on East Wade Hampton Boulevard. Following her two substantial lottery successes, the woman noted that she feels “a little less stressed.”
Her winnings are part of a recent wave of substantial payouts in South Carolina, where lottery officials have reported four notable winners. Three players from Moncks Corner, Greer, and Surfside Beach each took home $50,000. Another player in Columbia won $100,000 after purchasing a winning ticket at the Cheapway store on Shop Road. All these winners matched four white ball numbers along with the Powerball number in the recent drawing.
The Powerball drawing held on September 6 saw the winning numbers as 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and Powerball 17. Lottery officials have indicated that winners have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prizes. For those interested in the upcoming draws, the estimated Powerball jackpot is projected to hit $20 million.
In a record-setting year for the Powerball, the largest jackpot of $861 million went unclaimed following a drawing earlier this year. In the same period, two winners matched four white numbers and the Powerball during a recent drawing, leading to payouts at P & P Food Mart in Greer and a Food Lion in Little River. The winning numbers for that drawing were 9, 12, 22, 41, 61, and Powerball 25. The odds of matching four white numbers and the Powerball are approximately 1-in-913,129.
For those opting for the PowerPlay option, the white ball matching winners saw their $50,000 prizes quadrupled to $200,000, courtesy of a multiplier drawn, which was a “4” in this instance. The coming Powerball jackpot on Saturday is expected to reach an astounding $950 million, marking it as the sixth largest jackpot in the game’s history. The odds of winning the grand prize are approximately 1-in-293 million.
An additional significant success was reported by Joseph Greer, who won $100,000 from the $8 Million Money Maker scratch-off game. Greer initially lost a $50 ticket but participated in a “second chance drawing,” which enabled him to claim the substantial prize. After taxes, his winnings totaled $71,750. In describing his future plans for the money, Greer noted modest goals, including purchasing better bologna and saving for retirement.
Lottery regulations in South Carolina allow winners to remain anonymous for privacy, ensuring that personal information remains confidential. Lottery officials encourage all winners to sign the back of their tickets and keep them in a safe location until they can claim their prizes.
