South Carolina Lottery Powerball, Pick 3 Results for July 20, 2026; Claim Your Prize

The South Carolina Education Lottery held its Powerball and Pick 3 drawings on July 20, 2026, giving players another chance at cash prizes. Greenville Online reports that winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prizes before they expire.
Players can redeem smaller winnings at any authorized South Carolina Education Lottery retailer for an immediate payout. For prizes above $100,000, winners must visit the South Carolina Lottery Headquarters in Columbia in person to collect their money.
South Carolina lottery players have several options to collect winnings. Retailers across the state can pay out prizes on the spot. This makes claiming smaller prizes fast and convenient for most winners.
For large prizes above $100,000, the process is more involved. Winners must go to Lottery Headquarters in Columbia to claim in person. Those big winners can also set up an Electronic Funds Transfer, or EFT, so the money goes directly into their bank account, according to Greenville Online.
Powerball is not just a South Carolina game. The same drawing runs in states across the country on the same night. Louisiana Lottery results for July 20, 2026 were also covered, showing how widely the game reaches.
Florida players also took part in the July 20 Powerball drawing. Florida Today and several other Florida outlets covered the same night's results alongside Fantasy 5, another popular Florida draw game. Tickets for Florida games can be bought at gas stations and convenience stores statewide.
Pick 3 is one of South Carolina's simpler draw games. Players choose a three-digit number and wait for the daily draw. Prizes are smaller than Powerball but the odds of winning are much better.
Other states run similar daily number games. Providence Journal noted that Massachusetts offers a game called The Numbers Game, which works much like Pick 3. These daily draws give players a fresh shot at winning every single day.
One key rule applies to all South Carolina draw games: winners must claim prizes within 180 days of the drawing. Miss that window and the prize is gone for good. That gives July 20, 2026 winners a deadline in mid-January 2027.
Other states have different rules. Louisiana allows retailers to pay out prizes up to $600, with larger prizes handled through a separate claims process, according to Shreveport Times. Checking your specific state's rules is always the smart first step after a win.
