COLUMBIA, SC (July 2, 2019) – An Orangeburg man won $100,000 playing Powerball® after buying a ticket with spare change.
“I usually only play when the jackpot gets up there,” he admitted.
On a whim, he spent the change he got back after paying to fill up his car on a $3 Powerball® ticket.
The quick pick, purchased from the Enmarket #822 on Neeses Hwy. in Orangeburg, matched four of the while ball numbers and the red Powerball® number drawn on Saturday, June 22 (3, 6, 11, 14 and 66 PB: 21).
“I was one number away from the jackpot,” he said. “So close.”
The odds of winning $100,000 playing Powerball® are 1 in 913,129.
Enmarket #882 in Orangeburg received a commission of $1,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
