Bluffton gas station sells $50,000 winning lottery ticket. Be sure to check your numbers
If you recently bought a lottery ticket in Bluffton, you may want to check those numbers.
A ticket winning $50,000 was sold at the Enmark Station #851 on Bluffton Parkway, an S.C. Education Lottery news release said. The drawing was Monday night and the winning Powerball numbers were 8, 33, 55, 59, 62 and PB 18.
Two other people had winning tickets worth $500,000 and $100,000 in the April 18 drawing. Those tickets were purchased in Greenville and Batesburg, respectively.
None of the three tickets had been claimed as of Wednesday morning.
There was no jackpot winner, so the new jackpot rose to $370 million. In the 30 years of the Powerball lottery, 393 jackpots have been won with seven of those winners being sold in South Carolina. Another 70 people in the Palmetto State have won $1 million or more playing the Powerball.
Powerball tickets are $2 per play with the option of adding a PowerPlay or Double Pay for $1. Drawings are at 10:59 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
