COLUMBIA, SC (December 6, 2024) – A Lowcountry man who bought a Powerball® ticket in October while grocery shopping at the Publix on Johnnie Dodds Blvd. in Mount Pleasant is $1 million richer.
“It was crazy and wild,” he said.
He purchased the Powerball® ticket on a snack run before a football game he wanted to watch on television. That night he scored a $1 million win when his ticket matched the first five white ball numbers drawn in the October 5 drawing (2 - 12 - 46 - 52 - 65 and PB 3).
The Lottery caught up with the millionaire this week. He’s not telling anyone about the win and is saving the prize money as a nest egg.
The odds of winning $1 million are 1
in 11,688,054.
For selling the claimed ticket, Publix Super Markets #449 in Mount Pleasant received a commission of $10,000.
