Check your wallet, Hilton Head Island. There could be $1 million in it.
A Powerball ticket purchased from the Speedway #02879 at 421 William Hilton Parkway on the island is a winner, according to a S.C. Education Lottery news release.
The ticket matched all five white ball numbers drawn on Wednesday night.
The numbers drawn Wednesday were 34 - 38 - 42 - 61 - 62, and the Powerball was 19.
More than 10,000 other ticket holders also won prizes between $4 and $1 million, according to the release. The odds of winning $1 million are 1 in 11,688,054.
Winners have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes.
