James Wilson was the lucky contestant chosen to play for the South Carolina Education Lottery on the television game show, Powerball Instant Millionaire. Wilson and players from 13 other states played for a chance to win $1 million. He didn’t become a millionaire, but he did win $1,000, in addition to his $750 spending money with an all expense paid trip to Las Vegas.
Wilson wasn’t the only South Carolina lottery player to win on the game show. There were 56 “at-home” players as well. Each “at-home” player received $100 from the Wilson show.
“At-home players” whose contestant partner appears on the show, plays in any of the two preliminary rounds or plays in the semi-final round will receive $100. “At-home players” whose contestant advances to the final Powerball Bonus Round, to play for the $1 million, get $500. “At-home players” with millionaire partners will receive $10,000.
