$400 million Powerball South Carolina winner: The person or persons are yet to be revealed even though it was confirmed on Wednesday that a gas station held the winning ticket.

The store manager of the South Carolina gas station with the winning $400 million ticket, Keith Wedmore, said it was the first-ever winning Powerball ticket sold by the station.

It's a gas station frequented by visitors due to its location where two highways intersect in Central South Carolina. This one lucky winner is about to become $400 million richer, before taxes. The Powerball numbers were 7, 10, 22, 32, 35 and Powerball 19.

"I was at the store at the time," when it was revealed that his store had the winning lottery ticket, Wedmore said in a phone interview. "I don't know who it went to."

The winner of Wednesday's drawing can take $233 million in cash or the full prize paid over 29 years, lottery officials said. Most winners have taken the lump sum because over time, you lose more money when having it be drawn out.

The grand prize winner has 180 days to claim the windfall in the state capital of Columbia, said Paula Harper Bethea, executive director of the South Carolina Education Lottery.

"This is a life-changing event. There are a lot of zeroes that this person or these persons are going to get," she said.
