COLUMBIA, SC (July 1, 2022) – A Georgia man played Powerball® with Double Play® in South Carolina and won $50,000.
For years, the winner says he’s been quick picking his numbers at the Circle K Store on W. Martintown Rd. in North Augusta. His visit ahead of the June 15 Powerball® drawing was his luckiest so far, thanks to adding Double Play® to his ticket for an extra $1.
While his ticket lost in the Powerball® drawing, his numbers won big in the Double Play® drawing held after the regular Powerball® draw. In the Double Play® drawing, he matched four of the first five numbers drawn and the Powerball® number to win $50,000 (3 - 44 - 47 - 48 - 67 and PB: 11).
“And I’m still playing,” he told lottery officials after cashing in his Double Play® win.
The odds of winning $50,000 playing Powerball® with Double Play® are 1 in 913,129.
For selling the claimed ticket, Circle K Stores #5588 in North Augusta received a commission of $5,000.
South Carolina is one of 13 lotteries offering the Double Play® add-on feature. Powerball® with Double Play® is sold in Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Washington.
