A winning Powerball game was sold at a liquor store in SC. Check your tickets
Someone who recently bought a Powerball ticket was one number shy of winning the game’s grand prize, according to South Carolina Education Lottery officials.
Although the ticket buyer didn’t capture the multimillion jackpot in a drawing last week, they will be rewarded with a $100,000 payday, officials said in a news release.
Now the search is underway for the winner.
The six-figure winning Powerball game was sold at Money Saver Liquors at 4211 Broad St. in the Loris area of Horry County.
The winning numbers in the May 13 Powerball drawing were 22, 31, 52, 56, 67 and Powerball: 15.
The odds of matching four white numbers and the red ball number is 1-in-913,129, officials said.
The winner has 180 days to claim the prize, according to lottery officials.
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.

When the ticket is claimed, Money Saver Liquors is expected to receive a commission for selling the winning game.
Because there was no grand prize winner on either Wednesday or Saturday night, the jackpot for Monday’s Powerball drawing has grown to $100 million.
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.
