One strategy could be buying your ticket at one or more of the winningest stores in the Myrtle Beach area.
The South Carolina Education Lottery provided the top 10 stores where winners have claimed $500 or more in Horry County in the last five years for Powerball and Mega Millions.
The Circle K store at 4301 River Oaks Drive leads the pack of lucky stores, recording more than 4 million winning tickets sold.

With no winner in the Aug. 4 drawing, Tuesday’s drawing has grown to the largest jackpot in Mega Millions history, according to the Education Lottery.
Tickets are $2 and in South Carolina must be purchased by 10 p.m. for the 11 p.m. drawing.
Tuesday’s jackpot shatters the record previously set by Mega Millions, when a $1.5 billion jackpot was won in Simpsonville, South Carolina, in October of 2018, according to the Education Lottery.
