COLUMBIA, SC (August 14, 2025) – A Grand Strand Powerball® player started his day with a $100,000 win.
The winner says he was enjoying a glass of orange juice, when he noticed his Powerball® ticket laying on the kitchen counter. He picked up the ticket and got his cell phone out to check the numbers.
His ticket with PowerPlay® that he purchased from the Circle K on 62nd Ave N. in Myrtle Beach matched all but one number drawn to win $100,000 in the July 16 drawing.
“I was really excited,” he told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.
He was on the phone with the Lottery finding out where to go to cash in his ticket, when his wife returned home from her morning walk. He says she saw the big smile on his face and when he told her the reason, she couldn’t help but smile too.
The Lottery caught up with the winner recently. He says the couple has already taken one trip and are planning to use the winnings to do a few more fun things. And yes, he’s still playing Powerball®.
Circle K #2720338 in Myrtle Beach was rewarded with a $1,000 commission for selling the ticket.
The odds of matching four white
ball numbers and the red Powerball® number playing Powerball® are 1 in 913,129.
