According to the SC Education Lottery Commission, two $1 million tickets were sold by retailers in Florence and Rock Hill. Cruizers XII at 2124 N. Williston Rd. in Florence and MR Express on 2120 Nations Ford Rd. in Rock Hill were the lucky lottery retail locations.
The big winners matched all five white ball numbers drawn to win $1 million.
The person who bought the ticket in Andrews purchased PowerPlay for an extra $1, to have the $1 million Match 5 prize increased to $2 million.
140,000 winning tickets were sold in the Palmetto State totaling $5.3 million. These winners took home anywhere from $4 up to the $2 million prize.
Wednesday night's winning Powerball white ball numbers were 5, 16, 22, 23, 29 and red Powerball of 6.
