With the Powerball jackpot at $349 million, what are York County’s winning sites?
It’s been more than three years since a South Carolina store sold a Powerball jackpot winner.
That could change this weekend.
With no winner in Wednesday night’s drawing, the Powerball jackpot for Saturday has risen to $349 million, with a possible cash payout of $213 million. South Carolinians can purchase Powerball tickets until 9:59 p.m. Saturday for the 10:59 p.m. drawing.
A Powerball ticket costs $2, and is available at most convenience stores and grocery stores. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 293 million.
South Carolina is home to seven Powerball jackpot winners.
York County is home to the first two of South Carolina’s seven winners.
