COLUMBIA, SC (July 23, 2024) – After nearly winning the Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot once before, a Chapin lottery player has finally done it, cashing in a ticket worth $140,000.
“It’s terrific,” he said.
The winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials that he plays Palmetto Cash 5 every day and has come close, within one number of winning its grand prize already. But his luck changed at the Circle K at 1259 Chapin Rd., where he bought a ticket that matched all five numbers drawn on June 4 (17, 21, 25, 28 and 38).
And he says he’s going to keep playing, telling officials, “I have a ticket for tonight.”
As luck would have it, this evening rolling jackpot drawing is also worth $140,000.
For selling the claimed ticket, Circle K Stores Inc. #476 in Chapin received a commission of $1,400.
The odds of winning a Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 850,668.
