COLUMBIA, SC (September 12, 2025) – A McConnells lottery player says his $100,000 win was 50 years in the making.
“I feel like I got my money back,” he joked. “Really, it came right on time.”
His losing streak ended with a Powerball® with PowerPlay® quick pick he purchased from the Texaco Express at 4186 Chester Hwy. in McConnells. He says he checked the Powerball® number first and then looked at the rest, all but one white ball number matched those drawn on August 20.
“It was certainly an experience,” he said. “And yeah, I’m still playing.”
Texaco Express in McConnells was rewarded with a $1,000 commission for selling the ticket.
The odds of matching four white ball numbers and the red Powerball® number playing Powerball® are 1 in 913,129.
