The South Carolina Education Lottery held drawings for six different games on July 29, 2026. If you bought a ticket for any of these games, this article has all the winning numbers, plus a simple guide on how to claim your prize if you won.
Important: All prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing date. Don’t wait too long!
What is Power Play? It’s an extra feature you can buy that multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or even 10x (depending on the draw). Here, it was 2x.
An add-on game that gives you a second chance to win with the same numbers.
Pick 3 numbers (0–9). FIREBALL lets you replace one drawn number with the FIREBALL number to make more winning combos.

|---|---|---|
| Midday (12:59 p.m. ET) | 1 – 5 – 7 | 3 |
| Evening (6:59 p.m. ET) | 2 – 7 – 3 | 0 |
Same idea as Pick 3, but with 4 numbers.
| Drawing | Numbers | FIREBALL |
|---|---|---|
| Midday (12:59 p.m. ET) | 7 – 6 – 8 – 1 | 3 |
| Evening (6:59 p.m. ET) | 9 – 9 – 6 – 4 | 0 |
Pick just one number (1–15). If it matches, you win!

| Evening (6:59 p.m. ET) | 08 |
Pick 5 numbers from 1–38. Jackpot starts at $100,000 and grows until someone wins.

FIREBALL is an extra number drawn that you can use to replace one of the winning numbers on your ticket. This creates more ways to win! For example, if the winning Pick 3 is 1-5-7 and FIREBALL is 3, you could use 3 to make 3-5-7, 1-3-7, or 1-5-3 — giving you extra chances to match.
