COLUMBIA, SC (March 7, 2022) – After more than a decade of playing the Lottery, a Rock Hill man’s numbers finally showed him some love with a $200,000 win on Valentine’s Day.

A combination of family birthdates—11, 19, 20, 27 and 29—printed on his Palmetto Cash 5 ticket all matched to win him the game’s top prize on February 14. Spending the extra $1 for Power-Up doubled his prize to $200,000.

He called his wife right away with the news and asked her to double check the winning numbers to be sure. She confirmed it and the two celebrated a memorable Valentines.

The husband’s love for his numbers remains.

“I’m still playing them,” he said.

For selling the claimed ticket, Rock Hill Food Mart in Rock Hill received a commission of $1,000.

The odds of winning $200,000 playing Palmetto Cash 5 are 1 in 878,399.
