Double-check your lottery tickets! Someone in Bluffton is holding a $50,000 prize

Someone who bought a Powerball ticket in Bluffton this week is now $50,000 richer, according to a news release Thursday from the South Carolina Education Lottery.

The ticket was purchased at the Parker’s gas station, located at S.C. 170 and Evan Way, for Wednesday’s drawing. The ticket winner was not identified.

The numbers in Wednesday’s drawing were 15 - 28 - 52 - 53 - 63 and Powerball 18. No one matched all the numbers to win the jackpot.

The odds of matching four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000 are 1 in 913,129.

The news release said more than 7,000 players won prizes ranging from $4 to $50,000.

Winners have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes.

The estimated jackpot for Saturday’s Powerball drawing is $60 million.
