COLUMBIA, SC (July 31, 2025) – After two decades of playing the same lottery numbers, a Rock Hill man’s persistence has paid off, winning him a $180,000 jackpot.
“It feels great,” the winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. “It couldn’t have come at a better time.”
He says matching all five of his numbers on a Palmetto Cash 5 ticket that he purchased at the Flying J on Mt. Holly Rd. in Rock Hill has made his life so much easier.
And, he hasn’t let go of those numbers yet.
“Oh yeah, I’m still playing them,” he said. “The following week I won $25.”
For selling the claimed ticket, Flying J #714 in Rock Hill received a commission of $2,920.
The odds of winning a Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 850,668.
