Greer, South Carolina – A local woman has recently celebrated her good fortune, winning a $10,000 lottery prize just two months after claiming a much larger $200,000 prize. The latest win came from a scratch-off ticket of the $10 Big $pin game, purchased at the Hot Spot store located on East Poinsett Street in Greer. Upon discovering her new winnings, the woman expressed disbelief, stating, “No way.”

The earlier lottery success occurred in July when she purchased a $5 Ice Cold Bonus ticket from Xpress Fuel on East Wade Hampton Boulevard. This recent string of luck has led the winner to express that she is now “a little less stressed,” indicating the positive impact of her financial windfalls on her life.

In addition to this remarkable individual win, South Carolina lottery officials reported several other significant winners across the state. Three additional players from Moncks Corner, Greer, and Surfside Beach each won $50,000 in separate lottery games. Another lucky player in Columbia took home $100,000 after purchasing a ticket at the Cheapway on Shop Road. These winners achieved their prizes by matching four white ball numbers along with the Powerball number in the latest drawing.

The Powerball drawing that took place on September 6 featured winning numbers 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and Powerball: 17. Winners have a period of 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prizes, giving them ample time to secure their winnings.

The estimated jackpot for the next Powerball drawing is expected to reach an impressive $20 million. Excitement remains high as earlier this year, the largest Powerball jackpot had soared to $861 million before going unclaimed after the drawing on a Wednesday night.

The September 6 drawing also produced two winners who matched four white numbers and the Powerball number, winning $200,000 each. The winning tickets were sold at two different locations: P & P Food Mart in Greer and a Food Lion located at 77 State Highway 57 South in Little River. The winning numbers for this drawing were 9, 12, 22, 41, 61, with the Powerball being 25. The odds of matching four white numbers along with the Powerball number are approximately 1-in-913,129, demonstrating the rarity of such wins.

Moreover, players who opted for the PowerPlay option increased their winnings; a $50,000 prize was quadrupled to $200,000 thanks to a “4” multiplier that was drawn during the same event. Looking forward to the next Powerball jackpot on Saturday, projections suggest it may reach $950 million, marking it as the sixth largest jackpot in Powerball history. Players aiming for the grand prize face daunting odds of 1-in-293 million.

In South Carolina, lottery winners have the option to remain anonymous for privacy. Lottery officials encourage winners to sign the back of their tickets promptly and store them in a safe place until they claim their prizes.

Another notable winner emerging from recent lottery results is Joseph Greer who won $100,000 from the $8 Million Money Maker scratch-off game. Greer initially encountered disappointment after losing a $50 ticket but was fortunate to enter a “second chance drawing” that allowed him to win. Post-tax, Greer collected $71,750 from this prize, which he aims to use for modest personal goals, including purchasing better quality bologna and planning for his retirement.
