COLUMBIA, SC (July 27, 2023) – A Powerball® player in Simpsonville is holding a ticket worth $2 MILLION won in Wednesday night’s drawing. That ticket was purchased from the KC Mart #7 at 303 Lee Vaughn Rd. in Simpsonville, the same store that sold a $1.5 billion Mega Millions® ticket back in 2018.
The ticket sold in Simpsonville matched all five white ball numbers drawn but missed the red Powerball® number. Because the ticket holder purchased PowerPlay® for an extra $1, the $1 million prize increased to $2 MILLION.
