COLUMBIA, SC (February 25, 2026) – Next week, three Powerball® tickets—one worth $100,000 and two worth $50,000—will expire if not claimed in time.
All three tickets were purchased in South Carolina in September when the Powerball® jackpot swelled to more than $1 billion.

Hot Spot, 308 E.
Poinsett St., Greer - $50,000 win on 9/6
A Plus, 1519 Red Bank Rd., Goose Creek - $50,000 win on 9/3
These tickets matched four out of five white ball numbers and the red Powerball® number. The ticket holder in the Midlands added PowerPlay® to double their prize to $100,000.
The ticket sold in Goose Creek must be claimed no later than Monday, March 2.
The Columbia and Greer tickets must be claimed no later than Thursday, March 5.
The Powerball® tickets must be claimed at the Columbia Claims Center before 4 p.m., or if mailed, the envelope must be postmarked by the date the ticket expires.
