The South Carolina Education Lottery has officially published the winning numbers for its full slate of daily draw games conducted on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026. Lottery participants across the state who purchased tickets for the afternoon and evening drawings have been encouraged to review their playslips against the newly validated combinations for Pick 3, Pick 4, Cash Pop, and Palmetto Cash 5.
The midday Pick 3 Plus FIREBALL drawing produced the three-digit winning sequence of 2-7-5. In addition to the base combination, lottery officials confirmed that the selected FIREBALL number for the early session was 2. This extra number provides players who added the FIREBALL add-on feature alternative ways to combine digits and secure potential cash prizes.
During the evening Pick 3 Plus FIREBALL session, the mechanical draw machines selected the numerical sequence 2-8-6. Paralleling the results of the earlier midday drawing, the evening FIREBALL digit was also drawn as 2. Players holding tickets for either Pick 3 drawing are encouraged to review their play types and check official payout charts to verify whether their combinations yield winnings.
The midday Pick 4 Plus FIREBALL drawing generated the four-digit winning result of 7-3-8-0. As with the shorter three-digit game, the FIREBALL number drawn for the midday Pick 4 session was 2. This gave ticket holders another avenue to match winning combinations based on their selected wager style and play parameters.
Later in the day, the evening Pick 4 Plus FIREBALL drawing concluded with the winning sequence of 5-3-0-4. Continuing a consistent pattern across Thursday’s drawings, the FIREBALL number drawn for the nighttime Pick 4 session was once again 2. Players who matched the drawn numbers in exact or various boxed orders can consult the state lottery's payout resources for specific prize values.
The lottery's Cash Pop game also held two separate drawings over the course of the day. The midday Cash Pop drawing produced the winning single-number selection of 09, while the evening Cash Pop draw concluded with the winning number 02. These outcomes determine payouts for players seeking single-number matches across both daily cycles.
Rounding out the evening draw roster, the Palmetto Cash 5 game announced its five-digit winning set for Sept. 10. The numbers drawn for the nightly rolling game were 06, 09, 23, 24, and 41. Palmetto Cash 5 participants who matched some or all of these numbers are eligible for designated prize tiers outlined by the lottery.
In light of the new results, the South Carolina Education Lottery has reiterated the specific procedures winners must follow to collect their funds. The state maintains a structured, tiered payout system designed to streamline prize distribution while ensuring that the proper security protocols and identification requirements are met.
For smaller prizes amounting to $500 or less, winners can redeem their tickets directly at any authorized South Carolina Education Lottery retail outlet. To complete the transaction and receive an immediate cash payout over the counter, players must present an original, signed winning ticket to the retailer.
Prizes valued between $501 and $100,000 require a mail-in claims process rather than retail redemption. Players in this prize tier must mail their signed original winning ticket, a completed official claim form, and a legible photocopy of a government-issued photo identification card directly to the South Carolina Education Lottery Claims Center at P.O. Box 11039, Columbia, SC 29211-1039.
When utilizing the postal redemption method for mid-tier prizes, lottery officials strongly recommend taking precautionary security measures. Claimants should make physical or digital copies of all submitted documents for their personal records and dispatch the physical claim packet via registered mail to ensure secure delivery to the central claims office.
For substantial winnings exceeding $100,000, winners are required to claim their prizes in person at the South Carolina Education Lottery Headquarters. The Columbia Claims Center is located at 1303 Assembly Street in Columbia, SC 29201, where specialized staff handle major prize processing and identity validation.
Claimants visiting the Columbia Claims Center for high-tier payouts must bring their signed winning ticket, a completed claim form, a valid government-issued photo ID, and their Social Security card for formal identity verification. Winners claiming these top-tier payouts are also eligible to establish an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) to allow for the convenient direct deposit of their prize money.
Lottery officials have highlighted a critical administrative deadline for all participants holding winning slips. All draw game prizes must be officially claimed within 180 days from the original draw date. Once this 180-day window expires, uncollected prizes can no longer be redeemed by ticket holders.
Players participating in ongoing drawings should remain aware of the recurring daily schedule. Midday drawings for Pick 3, Pick 4, and Cash Pop occur every day at 12:59 p.m., while their respective evening drawings take place daily at 6:59 p.m. Palmetto Cash 5 drawings are held every evening at 6:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
In addition to state-specific daily offerings, multi-state draw games follow their standard weekly timetables. Powerball drawings are scheduled for 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, while Mega Millions drawings are conducted at 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday and Friday nights. Players are encouraged to retain their tickets safely and verify their numbers following each official event.
