The ticket matched all five winning numbers drawn on Saturday, which were 14, 17, 20, 25, and 36. This particular draw marked the 27th jackpot win for South Carolina’s Palmetto Cash 5 game since its inception. The jackpot had been rolling over for seven consecutive drawings before this winning ticket was sold, gradually increasing in value.

Claiming the Prize and Deadline
The player who holds the winning ticket has up to 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prize. The drawing for Saturday’s jackpot occurred on September 20, 2025, so the deadline for claiming the winnings is March 19, 2026. If the winner chooses to remain anonymous, South Carolina law allows lottery winners to keep their identity secret, providing privacy protections for large prize recipients.
