COLUMBIA, SC (July 1, 2021) – An extra stop won a Midlands lottery player $200,000.
The winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials that he ran inside the grocery store to buy a Palmetto Cash 5 ticket, but the customer service counter was closed. Disappointed, but undeterred, he drove to the Sharpe Shoppe #1 on Blythewood Rd. in Blythewood and purchased a quick pick ticket. He had five minutes to spare before Palmetto Cash 5 sales ended for the night.
The next day at work, he checked the Palmetto Cash 5 results for June 21 and saw where all five numbers on his ticket matched (4 - 10 - 27 - 32 - 33). Because he Powered-Up for an extra $1, his $100,000 prize doubled to $200,000.
“Miracles do happen,” he said describing how he came to win.
For selling the claimed ticket, Sharpe Shoppe #1 in Blythewood received a commission of $2,000.
The odds of winning $200,000 playing Palmetto Cash 5 are 1 in 501,942.
