A lucky lottery player has 180 days to bulk up their bank account.

State officials said Dec. 27 a ticket valued at $150,000 was purchased the day before from the Refuel Market at 6151 Highway 707 in Myrtle Beach, putting its owner on the clock to claim the prize.

It’s the second time this month for a big ticket win in the city — on Dec. 15, the Murphy Express on International Drive sold a $1 million bounty.

The winning numbers for the $150,000 jackpot — which carries odds of 1 in 913,129 — are 17-41-47-60-61 with the Powerball number of 17.
