Upon revealing the prize, the winner expressed disbelief, indicating she was surprised by her success. This latest victory follows her earlier significant win in July, where she bought a $5 Ice Cold Bonus ticket from Xpress Fuel on East Wade Hampton Boulevard.

Other Recent Lottery Winners in South Carolina
South Carolina lottery officials have announced several other notable recent winners across the state:
- Three players from Moncks Corner, Greer, and Surfside Beach each won $50,000.
- A player in Columbia claimed a $100,000 prize after purchasing a ticket at Cheapway on Shop Road.
How the Wins Were Achieved
All these recent winners matched four white ball numbers along with the Powerball number in previous drawings. The numbers for the September 6 Powerball drawing were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, with the Powerball being 17.
The odds of winning by matching four white balls and the Powerball are approximately 1 in 913,129. Players who opted for the PowerPlay feature during their purchase saw their $50,000 prizes quadrupled to $200,000 when a “4” multiplier was drawn.
Upcoming Drawings and Jackpots
The next Powerball drawing scheduled for Saturday is anticipated to have a jackpot of approximately $950 million, making it the sixth-largest jackpot in the game’s history. The biggest Powerball jackpot of the year, an incredible $861 million, went unclaimed after a recent Wednesday night draw.
Interestingly, in recent lottery activity, two tickets sold at P & P Food Mart in Greer and Food Lion at 77 State Highway 57 South in Little River matched four white numbers and the Powerball, each winning $200,000 with the PowerPlay multiplier in effect.
The odds to win the grand prize in Powerball are roughly 1 in 293 million, underscoring the rarity of such large jackpots.
Privacy and Prize Claims
South Carolina law allows lottery winners to remain anonymous to protect their privacy. Officials advise winners to sign the back of their tickets promptly and keep them in a safe place until claiming their prizes, which must be done within 180 days of the drawing.
Other Notable Wins
In addition to the larger jackpots, the $8 Million Money Maker scratch-off game produced a significant win for Joseph Greer. He initially lost a $50 ticket but entered a second-chance drawing, which led to his $100,000 prize. After taxes, his final amount was approximately $71,750.
Greer shared modest plans for his winnings, including purchasing better bologna and preparing for retirement, illustrating how some winners choose to use their prizes for practical, personal goals.
