South Carolina

In a notable day for lottery players across South Carolina, the state’s Education Lottery announced the results for several draw games and confirmed multiple major prize winners on October 15, 2025. The draw outcomes include both national and local games, with significant winnings reported and new jackpot winners emerging.

Major Lottery Results and Winning Numbers

The Powerball game, one of the most popular nationwide lotteries, drew winning numbers of 10, 13, 28, 34, 47. The Powerball number was 15, and the Power Play multiplier was 3. This drawing has prompted many players to check their tickets for a chance at the sizable jackpot.

For the midday and evening Pick 3 results, the winning numbers were 1-4-1 with the FB (Fireball) as 1 in the midday draw; and 4-0-8 with the Fireball being 0 in the evening drawing.

In the Pick 4 game, midday numbers were 6-1-8-4 with a Fireball of 1, and the evening numbers were 9-2-6-0 with the Fireball being 0. These results are part of routine daily lottery draws available to South Carolina residents.

The Cash Pop game produced winning numbers 02-05-13-27-32, providing additional opportunities for players to win smaller prizes. In the local Palmetto Cash 5 game, the winning numbers were 05, 20, 27, 44, 51, with a supplementary number, the Powerball, being 21.

Major Prize Wins and Notable Jackpots

A significant highlight was the $2.5 million prize won by an individual from Woodruff, South Carolina, who purchased the Magnificent Jumbo Bucks scratch-off ticket at Nick’s Mart. The ticket was one of many scratch-offs in the game, which has odds of approximately 1 in 1.72 million for winning the top prize. Nick’s Mart received a commission of $25,000 for selling the winning ticket.

Another major recent win involved Santana McCoy of Engelhard, who claimed a $219,685 jackpot playing the Bison Bonanza digital instant game. McCoy wagered only $5, an amount she initially thought might be a mistake when she discovered her win. After applying federal tax withholdings, she received $157,626. McCoy plans to put her winnings toward repairing her home and purchasing a new vehicle.

Details of the Bison Bonanza Game and Jackpot

The Bison Bonanza game features a progressive jackpot that resets at $50,000. Since McCoy’s win, the jackpot has increased to over $71,000, offering ongoing opportunities for players to win larger prizes. The game’s design allows for jackpot growth through ticket sales and ongoing prize rollovers.

Other Notable Wins and Lottery Statistics

The jackpot in the Palmetto Cash 5 game was won with a ticket purchased at a Circle K gas station in Camden. The winning numbers were 14, 17, 20, 25, 36. This jackpot was worth $170,000 and had rolled over seven times before being claimed, marking South Carolina’s 27th jackpot win in the Palmetto Cash 5 game overall.

Winners in South Carolina have up to 180 days from the date of the draw to claim their prizes. The state is among 11 in the country that allows lottery winners to remain anonymous, offering some privacy and protection to large jackpot winners.

Lottery Contributions to State Programs

Proceeds from the South Carolina Education Lottery support a variety of state programs. These funds are allocated directly to education initiatives, prize money, retailer commissions, and administrative costs, reinforcing the lottery’s role in funding public services within the state.

As lottery activities continue, residents are encouraged to play responsibly and stay informed about the latest results, jackpots, and winning opportunities. The draw results and recent jackpot winners demonstrate ongoing participation and the potential for life-changing prizes within South Carolina’s lottery system.
