WINNER WAITS TO CLAIM $1.1 MILLION JACKPOT
June 24, 2008
COLUMBIA, SC – With a getaway to the beach already planned, Martha Allen was not going to let anything stop her from enjoying her vacation. The Grover, NC, resident packed her bags and left for the beach, knowing the jackpot winning MegaMatch 6 ticket would still be waiting for her when she returned.
Two weeks later, on her day off from work, she claimed her prize. The winning ticket was worth $1,110,104. Allen realized she matched all six numbers (1, 2, 7, 19, 23, and 30) in the June 6 drawing when she stopped at her favorite lottery retailer the next day to purchase a Powerball® ticket. Allen and the manager of the Lil Store in Blacksburg where she purchased the ticket made the discovery.
The win was especially significant for the Lottery. The $1,110,104 jackpot was the largest in MegaMatch 6 history. MegaMatch 6 launched in February of this year, and Allen is the third jackpot winner.
“Ms. Allen’s jackpot is the largest of the over 307,000 MegaMatch 6SM prizes won to date,” said South Carolina Education Lottery’s Product Manager Carolyn Cabell. “Jackpot winners are usually eager to claim their prize right away, but there is no rush. Players have 180 days from the draw date to claim any MegaMatch 6 prize.”
