Someone in South Carolina has a $50,000 powerball ticket and they may not even know it yet

A $50,000 Powerball ticket is sitting somewhere in South Carolina, but its winner has not come forward yet. The South Carolina Education Lottery said Tuesday that the winning ticket was sold in St. Stephen. It matched four white balls and the red Powerball in Monday night’s drawing. Now, the winner has 180 days to claim the prize, as per a report by ABC News4.

Where was the $50,000 Powerball ticket sold

The winning ticket was purchased at St. Stephen Foodmart at 3862 Byrnes Drive in St. Stephen, according to the South Carolina Education Lottery.

The numbers drawn Monday night were:


16 – 23 – 32 – 36 – 54

Powerball: 9

The ticket matched four of the five numbers and also the Powerball. That combination is enough to win fifty thousand dollars. The chances of getting four balls and the red Powerball are one, in nine hundred thirteen thousand one hundred twenty-nine. For now though no one has claimed the prize.

How long does the winner have to claim the prize

Lottery players in South Carolina have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes, officials said. That means whoever bought the ticket has time, but they first need to find it. The South Carolina Education Lottery is telling people to look at their tickets and compare them with the numbers that were drawn on Monday night. This ticket that has not been claimed is very easy to miss because it is not the one that won the prize. However it still has a prize of $50,000.

Meanwhile, the estimated Powerball jackpot for Wednesday night’s drawing is $485 million.
