COLUMBIA, SC (November 9, 2010) – A 15-year resident of Little River has claimed the $1 MILLION Powerball® ticket sold in Little River.

After purchasing the Powerball® ticket from Vice’s Smoke Shop in Little River, the winner admits he didn’t see this coming. He checked the results at least 20 times before convincing himself he was a millionaire.
The winner, who requested his name not be released, has only shared the good news with his wife.
The millionaire making ticket for the Saturday, November 6 drawing matched all five white ball numbers drawn (7, 12, 23, 34 and 38 PB 33) but missed the red Powerball®. The winner wisely purchased PowerPlay® for an extra $1, which multiplied his $200,000 winnings to $1 MILLION.
