Camden, SC – Lottery Ticket Wins $170,000 Palmetto Cash 5 Jackpot
A lottery ticket purchased at a Camden convenience store has won a $170,000 jackpot in the Palmetto Cash 5 game, marking South Carolina’s 27th jackpot win in this lottery. The winning ticket was bought at the Circle K gas station located at 136 E. DeKalb Street. The prize was awarded after the Saturday night drawing and the winner now has a limited time to claim their winnings.
Details of the Jackpot Win
The winning numbers for the Saturday drawing were 14, 17, 20, 25, and 36. The jackpot had been rolling over for seven consecutive draws before the lucky ticket was sold, and if the winner claims the prize, it will be a significant payout for the local community and the state’s lottery system. The rolling jackpot increased to its current amount because no one hit all the winning numbers in the previous draws.
Odds and Timing
The odds of winning the Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot are approximately 1 in 850,668, making it a challenging game to win but still a popular choice among players. The winner has 180 days from the date of the drawing, September 20, 2025, to claim their prize. This period provides ample time for the ticket holder to initiate the claim process and verify their winnings.
Next Draw and Jackpot
The upcoming Palmetto Cash 5 drawing is scheduled for September 22, 2025, with a jackpot of $110,000. This amount reflects the usual rolling process where unclaimed or smaller prizes are added to the next jackpot pool, continuing the popularity and excitement surrounding the game.
How to Claim the Winnings
In South Carolina, lottery winners have options depending on the amount they have won:
- Winnings up to $500 can be redeemed directly at authorized retail locations, including convenience stores and gas stations.
- Prizes ranging from $501 to $100,000 must be claimed by mailing the winning ticket to the South Carolina Education Lottery Claims Center.
- For winnings exceeding $100,000, claims must be made in person at the South Carolina Education Lottery Headquarters in Columbia.
Additional information on claiming prizes, along with detailed guidelines and procedures, can be found on the South Carolina Education Lottery website.
Use of Lottery Proceeds
Net proceeds from lottery ticket sales in South Carolina contribute primarily to funding education initiatives across the state. This includes support for public schools, scholarships, and other educational programs, making lottery sales an important source of revenue for the state’s development efforts.
Background on South Carolina’s Palmetto Cash 5 Game
