COLUMBIA, SC (July 23, 2026) – A Lowcountry man is going to keep playing the lottery numbers that won him a $150,000 Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot.
“I’ve been playing the same numbers since 2023,” he told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. “It paid off, and I’m sticking with them.”
He won with the numbers 11, 13, 24, 29 and 34 on a ticket purchased from the Harris Teeter on Long Pointe Rd. in Mount Pleasant in June.
“It was amazing,” he said, when he realized all five numbers matched to win that night’s jackpot. “I’d never won anything in my life.”
And he’s enjoying his prize. “I bought a new car,’ he said.
For selling the claimed ticket, Harris Teeter LLC #87 in Mount Pleasant received a commission of $1,500.
The odds of winning a Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 850,668.
