Check your lottery tickets. If you bought in Murrells Inlet, you could be $200,000 richer

Someone is nearly a quarter of a million dollars richer thanks to a Palmetto Cash 5 ticket sold over the weekend in Murrells Inlet.

The $200,000 ticket was sold at a Scotchman at 3020 S. Highway 17 in Murrells Inlet and matched all five numbers drawn to win the $100,000 top prize. Because the ticket was “powered-up,” the top prize was doubled.

More than 3,500 Palmetto Cash 5 players won prizes from $1 up to $200,000 in Saturday night’s drawing.

The odds of winning $200,000 playing Palmetto Cash 5 are 1 in 1,003,884
