COLUMBIA, SC (March 6, 2025) – The South Carolina Education Lottery’s luckiest player might be in Lancaster.
The Lottery recently caught up with the player after he won $75,000 on a scratch-off ticket he bought at the Jiya Mansi LLC on the Charlotte Hwy. in Lancaster.
“It was exciting,” the winner told lottery officials. “But it was more exciting when I won more.”
He was referring to the time he won $250,000. But he’s also proud of a $20,000 win along with many other smaller ones he’s had over the last few years.
And while he says he’s grown accustomed to being called lucky, he admits there’s no method to all of his winning. He says he doesn’t have a lucky spot where he plays. Instead he buys tickets from different stores in Lancaster. And he likes scratch-offs, but doesn’t have a favorite one.
There’s only one similarity he shared. “I always give to the church after I win,” he said.
The odds of winning $75,000 playing Loteria are 1 in 660,000. This game is no longer available for sale.
Jiya Mansi LLC in Lancaster received a commission of $750 for selling the claimed ticket.
