COLUMBIA, SC (November 17, 2021) – The winner of a $1 MILLION Powerball® prize on a ticket sold in Surfside Beach has come forward.
“I’m going to have a pretty good Christmas,” the winner told lottery officials.
He says he’s still shocked the first five numbers on his Powerball® ticket matched to win him the $1 million prize in the drawing on November 9 (21 - 46 - 47 - 57 - 62, and Powerball® 8). He missed out on the jackpot by one number.
The millionaire, who does not wish to be identified, says he’ll keep playing Powerball®.
“Why not? Maybe I’m on a roll,” he said.
The odds of winning $1 million are 1 in 11,688,054.
For selling the claimed ticket, Gators Liquor in Surfside Beach received a commission of $10,000.
The estimated Powerball® jackpot for tonight’s drawing is $190 million.
This win brings the total of Grand Stand lottery players that have won $1 million or more this year to three. In June, a customer at the Coastal Petro on Burcale Rd. in Myrtle Beach scratched off a $2 million prize. In July, a Mega Millions® player at the Murphy USA #7752 on Kings Rd. in Myrtle Beach won $3 million.
