The $2 million ticket was purchased from the Food Lion on the JA Cochran Bypass in Chester, South Carolina.
The ticket sold in Chester matched all five white ball numbers drawn. Because the ticket holder purchased PowerPlay for an extra $1, the $1 million prize increased to $2 million.
The winning Powerball numbers from Saturday are: 6-40-41-45-52; Powerball: 9.
Players have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes.
