Greer, South Carolina — Woman Wins $10,000 Lottery Prize Two Months After $200,000 Win
A woman in Greer, South Carolina, has won a $10,000 prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket, just two months after her previous substantial win of $200,000. The series of recent lottery successes highlights a notable streak for the local resident and underscores the ongoing popularity of South Carolina’s lottery games.
Recent Lottery Wins
The woman purchased a $10 Big $pin ticket from the Hot Spot store located on East Poinsett Street. Upon scratching off the ticket and revealing the prize, she expressed disbelief, famously reacting with a statement meaning she couldn’t believe her luck. Her prior victory came in July, when she won $200,000 from a $5 Ice Cold Bonus ticket bought at Xpress Fuel on East Wade Hampton Boulevard.
Following her recent winnings, the woman shared that she feels “a little less stressed”, indicating the financial relief her prizes have provided. Her consecutive wins contribute to a broader context of increasing lottery activity in South Carolina, where four notable winners have been announced recently.
Other Recent South Carolina Lottery Milestones
Among these, three players from Moncks Corner, Greer, and Surfside Beach each won $50,000. Additionally, a Columbia resident claimed a $100,000 prize after purchasing a ticket at the Cheapway on Shop Road. These winners matched four white ball numbers along with the Powerball number in their respective drawings. The recent Powerball drawing held on September 6 produced the numbers: 11, 23, 44, 61, 62 and the Powerball: 17.
Details of the Drawings and Prizes
Winners have 180 days from the date of the draw to claim their prizes. The upcoming Powerball jackpot for Saturday is projected to reach $950 million, making it one of the largest in the game’s history. The largest Powerball jackpot for the year reached $861 million, but it went unclaimed after a Wednesday night draw.
In recent drawings, two tickets sold at P & P Food Mart in Greer and a Food Lion at 77 State Highway 57 South in Little River matched four white numbers and the Powerball. The winning combination for the Wednesday evening draw was 9, 12, 22, 41, 61, with the Powerball 25.
The odds of matching four white balls plus the Powerball are approximately 1-in-913,129. Players who purchased the PowerPlay option and hit the four white balls with the Powerball had their winnings multiplied by four due to a “4” multiplier, increasing their prize to $200,000.
Looking Ahead and Additional Winners
The next Powerball jackpot is anticipated to be around $950 million, the sixth-largest in history. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot remain extremely challenging, estimated at 1-in-293 million.
South Carolina law permits winners to remain anonymous, providing privacy and security after a win. Lottery officials recommend that winners sign the back of their tickets immediately and store them securely until they claim their prize.
Other Notable Lottery Wins
Another significant recent win involved the $8 Million Money Maker scratch-off game, where Joseph Greer was awarded $100,000. Greer initially lost a $50 ticket but entered a “second chance drawing” which enabled him to win. After taxes, he received approximately $71,750.
Greer shared modest goals for his winnings, including purchasing better bologna and planning for retirement, exemplifying the common, grounded aspirations of lottery winners.
These recent developments in South Carolina’s lottery scene highlight both the excitement and the odds associated with big wins. With current jackpots reaching hundreds of millions of dollars, players remain eager to participate, knowing the possibility of life-changing prizes lies within reach.
