In a stroke of luck, a Lexington resident has hit a massive $300,000 jackpot in the Palmetto Cash 5 lottery, thanks to a fortunate purchase at the local Circle K Stores Inc. on Sunset Blvd. The South Carolina Education Lottery confirmed the win, which occurred in the draw on Sunday, February 4, 2024.
A Fortuitous Power-Up
The winning ticket matched all five numbers, securing an initial prize of $100,000. However, the winner’s decision to add the Power-Up option for an extra dollar tripled their winnings to $300,000, highlighting the value of this game-enhancing feature.
Time to Claim
Winners have a 180-day window from the draw date to claim their prize, with detailed instructions available on the South Carolina Education Lottery’s website. This significant win not only benefits the lucky ticket holder but also supports the state’s education funding, as lottery proceeds contribute to various educational resources.
The Palmetto Cash 5 drawing has proved once again to be a lucrative opportunity for South Carolinians, with more than 4,900 participants winning prizes in the latest drawing. The inclusion of the Power-Up option has especially paid off for over 3,600 players, tripling their prizes.
