A Greer woman has made headlines after a remarkable lottery win of $10,000 from a scratch-off ticket, adding to a previous $200,000 win just two months ago.

Meanwhile, multiple other winners from around South Carolina were announced, further enhancing the excitement around recent lottery draws.

Greer, South Carolina – A local woman has made headlines after winning a $10,000 lottery prize from a scratch-off ticket, just two months following a staggering $200,000 win from a different lottery game. This remarkable string of luck has certainly put her in a less stressful financial position. The latest win involved a $10 Big $pin ticket purchased from the Hot Spot store on East Poinsett Street in Greer.

The woman was in disbelief as she scratched off the winning ticket, expressing her incredulity with the words “No way.” Her luck did not begin there; her previous windfall came from a $5 Ice Cold Bonus ticket, bought in July from Xpress Fuel on East Wade Hampton Boulevard.

In addition to her wins, South Carolina lottery officials recently announced four other significant winners throughout the state. Three individuals from Moncks Corner, Greer, and Surfside Beach each secured $50,000 after winning through a drawing, while one player in Columbia won $100,000 after purchasing a ticket at the Cheapway on Shop Road. To win, these players successfully matched four white ball numbers and the Powerball number.

The winning numbers for the Powerball drawing held on September 6 included 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, with a Powerball number of 17. All winners have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prizes. The excitement continues as the estimated Powerball jackpot for the upcoming drawing is set at $20 million, a significant amount that has drawn interest from many lottery enthusiasts.

Earlier in the year, the largest Powerball jackpot reached an astonishing $861 million, which ultimately went unclaimed following a mid-week drawing. Interestingly, two players matched four white numbers and the Powerball during a recent drawing, each securing $200,000. Winning tickets for this drawing were sold at P & P Food Mart in Greer and a Food Lion located on State Highway 57 South in Little River. The winning numbers for that drawing were 9, 12, 22, 41, 61, and Powerball 25. Notably, the odds of matching four white numbers and the Powerball number stand at a daunting 1 in 913,129.

Players who opted for the PowerPlay option were able to quadruple their $50,000 prizes to $200,000 thanks to a “4” multiplier drawn during the event. Looking ahead, the next Powerball jackpot anticipated on Saturday is projected to reach $950 million, ranking as the sixth largest in the game’s history, though the odds of winning the grand prize are set at 1 in 293 million.

In South Carolina, winners are permitted to remain anonymous to protect their privacy. Lottery officials advise all winners to sign the back of their tickets and store them securely until they can claim their prizes. Additionally, another notable winner in the area, Joseph Greer, managed to secure $100,000 through the $8 Million Money Maker scratch-off game after initially losing a $50 ticket. He subsequently entered a second chance drawing, which secured him the substantial prize. After taxes, Greer took home a total of $71,750 and expressed modest plans for his winnings, including looking forward to purchasing better quality groceries and saving for retirement.
