ThePowerball Winner Finally Hits All Powerball Numbers in South CarolinaPowerball winner drought had pushed the Powerball numbers to be worth over $259 million in last night's drawing. But one winner finally got all of the Powerball numbers last night, though no one yet knows who it is. However, this Powerball winner gets to take home $259 million to his or her's home of South Carolina.
The Powerball winner finally claimed the growing jackpot by hitting all the Powerball numbers - 12, 24, 31, 43, 51, the Powerball of 27 and the Power Play of 5. It had been over two months since there was a Powerball jackpot winner, as the numbers became more and more valuable and the grand prize increased to near-record levels. But at last, a Powerball winner reportedly came forward at the end of last night's number drawing. All that the lottery's website would reveal was that the Powerball winner comes from South Carolina - not Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey or the other major states that play the game.
Having the Powerball winner come from South Carolina is a rare bit of good news for the state, after it has had a tough last few months with Mark Sanford and other embarrassing political scandals. The Powerball winner has given the state some positive attention at last, as well as the envy of every lottery player. The Powerball winner has the choice of taking the $259 million in a series of payments, or claiming an instant lump sum that will just be worth around $125 million. Once the Powerball winner comes forward, then the choice will likely be revealed.
