COLUMBIA, SC (October 27, 2022) – With no winner in Wednesday night’s Powerball® drawing, Saturday’s draw just got a lot more interesting.
Someone stands to win a hefty $800 million and lay claim to the second largest jackpot in Powerball® history.
That’s a $383 million cash payout for whoever can overcome odds of 1 in 293 million.
The Education Lottery urges players to play smart by playing responsibly and to safeguard your prize by signing the back of your ticket.
“While it’s fun to imagine what it would be like to win a life changing jackpot, don’t forget what’s important,” said SC Lottery Executive Director Hogan Brown. “Play in moderation and certainly do not spend money you don’t have or need for more important uses.”
In last night’s drawing more than 39,000 players in South Carolina won prizes from $2 up to $50,000. A ticket with Double Play® worth $50,000 was sold at the the Yamuna Foodmart on N. Okatie Hwy. in Ridgeland.
Ticket sales leading up to Saturday’s drawing are expected to be strong nationally, meaning the jackpot will likely loom even larger as the drawing nears.
A record Powerball® jackpot worth more than $1.5 billion was won back in January of 2016.
Tickets for Saturday’s $800 million jackpot are available at lottery retailers statewide. Tickets cost $2, and in South Carolina must be purchased by 9:59 p.m. for Saturday’s 10:59 p.m. drawing.
Good luck, South Carolina! Please Play Responsibly!
