SIMPSONVILLE, S.C. — Someone who bought a lottery ticket in South Carolina is a multi-millionaire - but they may not know it yet.
Officials with the South Carolina Education Lottery said a store with a lucrative past - as far as lottery wins go - just sold a $2 million ticket. But the winner hasn't come forward yet.
The ticket was sold at KC Mart #7 at 303 Lee Vaughn Road in Simpsonville. The winner came close to winning even more and matched all five white ball numbers - 3, 16, 40, 48 and 60 - only missing the Powerball, 14. The ticket would typically be worth $1 million, but the jackpot doubled because the winner purchased PowerPlay for another dollar.
The purchaser of the one-in-11,688,054 ticket has 180 days from the date of the drawing - in this case, July 26 - to claim their winnings.
As for the station that sold the ticket, it's not the first huge win sold there. Lottery officials said the same store sold the $1.5 billion Mega Millions ticket in 2018.
