COLUMBIA, SC (April 5, 2019) – A Little River man’s signature on the back of his winning lottery ticket looks shaky, because that’s how he felt after winning $400,000.
“I was nervous,” he said of his Palmetto Cash 5 top prize win this week.
For two months, he’s played the same five numbers, a combination of birth dates he’d stopped using years ago, until he says, “something told me to play them again.”
His decision to give his old lucky numbers a second chance paid off on Monday, when 1, 2, 6, 16 and 26 were drawn. He Powered-Up his ticket for an extra $1, to have his $100,000 prize multiplied to $400,000.
“I’m blessed,” he said.
The odds of winning $400,000 playing Palmetto Cash 5 are 1 in 4,015,536.
For selling the claimed ticket, Circle K in Little River received a commission of $4,000.
