COLUMBIA, SC (February 13, 2023) – From the parking lot at work, a South Carolina man called his wife to tell her he’d won $2 million playing Powerball®.
Then he told her he’d see her after work.
“We’re not changing one thing,” the millionaire told lottery officials. “We have a happy life. This just makes it more comfortable.”
The husband purchased the Powerball® with PowerPlay® ticket at the Savers #1 store on Hwy. 301 N. in Dillon for the drawing on Monday, January 2 (7, 9, 12, 31, 62 and PB: 22). His quick pick matched all but one number.
“I still remember the number I missed,” he said. “I had “11” and it was “22.”
The odds of winning $2 million are 1 in 11,688,054.
For selling the claimed ticket, Savers #1 in Dillon received a commission of $20,000.
The estimated Powerball® jackpot for Monday night’s drawing is $45 million.
