COLUMBIA, SC (March 3, 2021) – A Summerville couple went in the grocery store for three items, and picked up a fourth—a Powerball® ticket.
“We got hamburger, spaghetti sauce and hot wings,” the wife said.
The husband bought the Powerball® ticket before leaving the Food Lion #1542 on Central Ave. in Summerville.
At 4 a.m. he checked the ticket and woke his wife up to tell her they’d won $100,000.
The Powerball® ticket, a quick pick, matched four of the first five white ball numbers and the red Powerball® number (20 - 28 - 33 - 63 - 68 and Powerball® 20) drawn on Saturday, February 13. Paying an extra dollar for PowerPlay® doubled their $50,000 winnings to $100,000.
“It’s surreal,” the wife said. “We bought one ticket and won.”
The odds of winning $50,000 playing Powerball® are 1 in 913,129. The odds of a 2X multiplier being selected are 1 in 1.79 when the jackpot is $150 million or less.
For selling the claimed ticket, Food Lion #1542 in Summerville received a commission of $1,000.
The estimated jackpot for Wednesday’s Powerball® drawing is $123 million.
