Check your tickets. A winning Powerball game was sold in South Carolina
Somebody who bought a Powerball ticket in South Carolina prior to Saturday’s drawing is $150,000 richer.
A Powerball ticket that was one number away from winning the game’s $120 million grand prize was sold in the Palmetto State, according to the South Carolina Education Lottery website.
The six-figure winning ticket was sold at the Speedway gas station/convenience store at 1518 North Main St. in Summerville, lottery officials said Monday in a news release.
The ticket matched four white ball numbers and the red Powerball number, a feat that has odds of 1-in-913,129 of occurring, officials said.
The winning numbers in Saturday’s drawing were 3, 16, 32, 52, 62 and Powerball: 24.
Because the winner added the PowerPlay option for an additional dollar, the $50,000 prize tripled to $150,000 when a “3” multiplier was drawn, according to the release.
The winner has 180 days to claim the prize, officials said.
The winner will be allowed to retain some privacy, as South Carolina is one of 11 states — along with Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Texas and Virginia — that allow lottery winners to remain anonymous.
“Sign the back of your ticket and put it in a safe location until you’re ready to come forward to claim the prize,” lottery officials said.

The jackpot for Monday’s Powerball drawing is $128 million, according to the game’s website.
Anyone looking to buy a ticket must make a purchase by 9:59 p.m. Monday for the 10:59 p.m. drawing. Tickets are $2, and could cost more with additional options.
The odds of winning Powerball’s grand prize are 1-in-293 million.
