Someone in Rock Hill is walking around with a $50,000 lottery ticket, and they may not even know it yet.
Lottery officials say a Powerball Double Play ticket worth $50,000 was sold for Monday’s drawing at Lee’s Convenience Store Plus, a neighborhood stop on Ebenezer Road. The ticket hit four of the white balls plus the red Powerball in the Double Play drawing, locking in the $50,000 prize level.
According to the South Carolina Education Lottery, the winning ticket came from Lee’s Convenience Store Plus LLC at 2165 Ebenezer Road in Rock Hill and scored Double Play drawing yesterday. The winning Double Play line was 22, 23, 28, 32 and 68 with Powerball 21.
Double Play gives a second shot at big prizes
Double Play is an optional $1 add-on for Powerball that gives players a second drawing using the same set of numbers on their ticket. After the main Powerball draw, a separate Double Play drawing is held with prizes that can climb to $10 million.
In that prize structure, matching four white balls plus the Powerball in Double Play is good for $50,000, with odds of about 1 in 913,129, according to the Maryland Lottery.
Claim window and next steps
In South Carolina, winners of terminal draw games such as Powerball and Double Play have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize. Lottery officials advise signing the back of the ticket immediately and following the state’s claim guidelines.
The claims process, including locations, required identification, forms and mailing options for those who cannot appear in person, is detailed in the FAQ and claims information from the South Carolina Education Lottery.
WBTV also lists Lee’s Convenience Store Plus as the retailer and confirms the Double Play numbers. Anyone who bought a Powerball ticket in the Rock Hill area for that drawing is urged to pull out their slips, look for 22, 23, 28, 32 and 68 with Powerball 21, and contact the South Carolina Education Lottery if they think they have the winning ticket.
