COLUMBIA, SC (July 24, 2025) – After 20 years of playing Palmetto Cash 5, a Midlands man has finally captured the game’s top prize, a jackpot worth $292,000.
“I’m glad I won it,” the winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. “It was my time.”
The winner says over the year’s he’s bought his Palmetto Cash 5 tickets from different stores all over the Midlands, but his golden ticket was purchased at the Publix grocery store on Two Notch Rd. in Columbia.
That ticket matched all five numbers drawn on July 6 (10, 13, 17, 24 and 27).
And, he’s not done yet.
“I’m still playing,” he added.
For selling the claimed ticket, Publix Super Markets #587 in Columbia received a commission of $2,920.
The odds of winning a Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 850,668.
