COLUMBIA, SC (April 2, 2026) – For now, a Midlands man is still going into the office, but that’s about to change after winning a $160,000 jackpot.
“I’m getting ready to retire,” the winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. “And this helps.”
He grew his nest egg with the help of a Palmetto Cash 5 ticket he quick picked one morning at the Stop & Go at 10 W. Winfield St. in Manning. That ticket surprised him by matching every single number drawn on March 20 to win the jackpot.
“My wife wasn’t too upset about it either,” he laughed.
For selling the claimed ticket, Stop & Go in Manning received a commission of $1,600.
The odds of winning a Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 850,668.
