Moore, Spartanburg County – A Powerball ticket sold in Moore is worth $150,000 following the August 13 drawing. The ticket was purchased at 7 Eleven Store #36843J, located at 4091 Moore Duncan Highway. This substantial win was significantly boosted by the purchase of the PowerPlay option, which increased the prize money from the base amount of $50,000 to $150,000 through the application of a ‘3’ multiplier.
The winning numbers for the drawing were 4, 11, 40, 44, 50, with the Powerball number also being 4. With this configuration, the ticket holder matched four of the white ball numbers along with the red Powerball number. Winning under such conditions comes with relatively tough odds, standing at 1 in 913,129 for this particular achievement.
In addition to the $150,000 win, more than 15,000 players in South Carolina were fortunate enough to secure various prize amounts ranging from $4 to $150,000 during the same drawing. Winners have a window of 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes, allowing ample time for ticket holders to ensure they are prepared to collect their winnings.

In South Carolina, lottery tickets are priced at $2, although there may be additional costs for optional features like PowerPlay, which can further enhance winnings. The odds of securing the Powerball grand prize, however, remain daunting, measured at 1 in 293 million.
To increase the likelihood of a successful claim, state lottery officials advise all ticket holders to sign the back of their tickets and store them in a secure location until they are ready to claim their prize. Notably, South Carolina residents enjoy the benefit of remaining anonymous if they win a lottery prize, as it is one of only 11 states that allows for such privacy.
This winning ticket was also tantalizingly close to the grand prize of $531 million, capturing attention and excitement among many hopeful players. Each drawing represents a significant opportunity, and as the stakes rise, so does the community’s anticipation. The allure of substantial winnings continues to draw in players each week, contributing to the lottery’s popularity in the region.
