Columbia, SC – The South Carolina Education Lottery has announced the draw results for several games on September 21, 2025. Players can check their tickets against the winning numbers to see if they’ve hit it big, as the lottery continues to raise significant funds for state education.
The evening Pick 3 results were recorded as 6-3-8, with a FIREBALL number of 5. In the Pick 4 game, the winning numbers are 0-7-4-3, also with a FIREBALL number of 5. The evening Cash Pop result was 01, while Palmetto Cash 5 players should check their tickets against the numbers 01-02-10-11-17.
For those fortunate enough to win, the process of claiming prizes varies based on the amount won. Prizes up to $500 can be redeemed at any authorized South Carolina Education Lottery retailer. Winners need only present a signed winning ticket for immediate payout. However, for winnings exceeding $500, players must send a signed ticket, a claim form, and a copy of a government-issued photo ID via mail to the South Carolina Education Lottery Claims Center. For prizes over $100,000, winners must make claims in person at the South Carolina Education Lottery Headquarters located in Columbia. This process requires the presentation of a signed winning ticket, a claim form, a government-issued photo ID, and a Social Security card. Additionally, winners of large prizes can opt to set up an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for direct deposit of their winnings.
The deadline for claiming all prizes is important to note. All winnings must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date for draw games. This adds urgency for those who have perhaps won but are unaware of the process to collect their prizes.
The South Carolina Education Lottery has seen impressive success in raising funds for education, contributing a total of $546.8 million to state students in 2025 alone. Since its inception in 2002, the lottery has generated a remarkable sum of $8.9 billion for educational purposes. This success is significantly attributed to the popularity of scratch-off tickets and the Palmetto Cash 5 game.
In related lottery news, the Powerball jackpot has grown to a staggering $850 million ahead of the next drawing, marking it as the sixth-largest prize in the game’s history. Players hoping to cash in on this substantial jackpot face considerable odds, approximately 1 in 293 million, to win the grand prize. Should someone win, they will have the choice between a one-time cash payout of $383 million or the option to receive the full amount distributed in 30 installments over a span of 29 years.
With a robust lottery system and the potential for life-changing prizes, residents of South Carolina continue to participate, driving funding for important educational initiatives throughout the state.
