A South Carolina Palmetto Cash 5 ticket worth $100,000 was sold in Graniteville on Tuesday, giving one player a jackpot prize that now comes with a 180-day claim clock.
The winning ticket matched all five numbers drawn on Tuesday, July 7, and was bought at the Pilot Travel Center #4568 at 574 Bettis Academy Road. The win is South Carolina’s 47th jackpot hit in the game, and the odds of landing the top prize are 1 in 850,668.
Palmetto Cash 5 is a rolling jackpot game, which means the prize can keep building until someone matches the numbers. In this case, the payout reached $100,000 before the Graniteville ticket hit. The prize has not yet been claimed, so the person holding it still has time, but not much of it, to step forward.
The state lottery directs players to sceducationlottery.com for full information on claiming prizes. That matters because the countdown starts from the drawing date, not from the day the ticket is checked or found. For the winner, the question is no longer whether the numbers matched. It is whether the ticket is still safe enough to cash in before the 180 days run out.
