Two players hit jackpot in same SC lottery game. Where were the lucky tickets sold?
Two lucky players hit the jackpot in the same South Carolina lottery game.
The players bought tickets that matched all numbers picked in recent Palmetto Cash 5 drawings. The June 8 winner scored a $130,000 prize, while the June 11 winner’s ticket was worth $120,000, the S.C. Education Lottery wrote in news releases.
The winning numbers for the June 8 drawing: 9-28-29-37-41.
The winning numbers for the June 11 drawing: 5-6-9-12-40.
So, where were the lucky tickets sold? The $130,000 ticket came from the Super Mart convenience store in Timmonsville, a roughly 70-mile drive northeast from Columbia.
The $120,000 ticket was sold at a Murphy USA gas station in Union, a roughly 70-mile drive northwest from Columbia.
Palmetto Cash 5 is a rolling jackpot game that costs $2 to play. While the Timmonsville prize has been claimed, the Union winner still has about six months to cash in, lottery spokesperson Holli Armstrong told McClatchy News via email.
