COLUMBIA, SC (January 14, 2020) – A Ninety Six woman was getting ready to watch last night’s National Championship football game when she remembered she had a lottery ticket in her car. She got it, checked the numbers and called her mom.

“I won!” she screamed. “I won $300,000!”

The winner, who asked not to be identified, told lottery officials that her heart started pounding when one by one her ticket matched all five numbers drawn on Monday, January 13 to win the top prize in the Palmetto Cash 5 game (2, 11, 21, 24 and 33).

She’s planning to help her family and church with the prize money.

“Mom gave me a high five,” she said.

Because she spent the extra $1 for Power-Up, her would be $100,000 winnings were tripled to $300,000 when a “3” multiplier was selected.

The odds of winning $300,000 playing Palmetto Cash 5 are 1 in 1,606,214.

For selling the claimed ticket, Asian Market in Greenwood received a commission of $3,000.
