COLUMBIA, SC (October 23, 2025) – A Pee Dee woman’s loyalty to her lottery numbers proved lucky, winning her a $140,000 Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot.
“I play Palmetto Cash 5 all the time,” the winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.
What might surprise you is how she finally won it.
Her jackpot winning numbers were a random quick pick that she didn’t just buy and play once. She played those same numbers for months.
“I played it over and over again,” she explained.
It was a Palmetto Cash 5 repeat ticket bought at the Refuel on the Lamar Hwy. in Lamar that got her the jackpot win in September. And she has already made her first purchase, a new car.
The odds of winning the Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 850,668.
For selling the claimed ticket, Refuel in Lamar received a commission of $1,400.
Tonight’s Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot is $190,000.
