Columbia, SC — Someone in South Carolina won a million dollars in Saturday night's Powerball drawing.
Powerball's website confirms a single ticket was sold in the state. It does not, however, say where the ticket was sold. That information will come later from South Carolina lottery officials.
The wining numbers were 24-25-52-60-66 and the Powerball was 05. The Power Play was 3x.
Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot will skyrocket to an estimated $750 million on Wednesday after nobody picked the correct numbers for the $625 million jackpot.
There were winners of $2 million in Florida and Wisconsin, and winners of $1 million in Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, and as we mentioned, South Carolina. The estimated lump sum payout of the new jackpot is $465.5 million. The odds of winning are roughly 1 in 292.2 million.
No one has won the Powerball jackpot since the day after Christmas. Twenty-five drawings since then have failed to produce a winner, including the drawing on Saturday.
The buyers of three tickets shared the country's largest jackpot. It was a nearly $1.59 billion Powerball prize drawn on Jan. 13, 2016. A South Carolina purchaser won a $1.54 billion Mega Millions jackpot. That was the nation's second-largest lottery prize ever.
