COLUMBIA, SC (August 3, 2023) – A Midlands woman bought a Powerball® ticket for a chance at a $750 million jackpot and ended up winning $150,000.
She quick picked some numbers at the OM Jay 2002 LLC store at 10193 US Hwy. 78 in Elko, a small town in Barnwell County, for the drawing on July 12 (23, 35, 45, 66, 67 and PB: 20). Her ticket with PowerPlay® matched all but one of the numbers drawn for the nice, six-figure payday.
“I’m elated,” she said of the win.
The prize money is being put aside for retirement.
The odds of matching four white ball numbers and the red Powerball® number playing Powerball® are 1 in 913,129. The purchase of PowerPlay® for an additional $1 increased the $50,000 prize to $150,000.
For selling the claimed ticket, OM Jay 2022 LLC in Elko received a commission of $1,500.
