Check your lottery tickets! A $200,000 winner was sold at a SC gas station off I-95
Someone in Yemassee — or someone passing through the town to I-95 — might have $200,000 in their wallet and not even realize it.
A winning ticket sold at Lanes Shell Mart on Lane Street has yet to be claimed, a S.C. Education Lottery news release said.
Monday’s Palmetto Cash 5 drawing had a ticket with five matching numbers that was also “powered-up.”
The matching five numbers were worth $100,000, but the ticket’s winnings were doubled because a 2 was drawn for the power up.
The winning numbers in Monday’s drawing were 3 - 9 - 18 - 28 - 34 and the Power-Up was 2.
More than 5,400 Palmetto Cash 5 players won prizes from $1 up to $200,000 in Monday’s drawing. The odds of winning $200,000 playing Palmetto Cash 5 are 1 in 1,003,884.
Winners have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes.
