COLUMBIA, SC (March 12, 2026) – A $30,000 win on a $2 ELF scratch-off has made a mother and son in Sumter both happy.
The son is getting a car.
And Mom is not his chauffeur anymore.
“When I get home from work, I’m tired,” the mother told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. “Now I can rest. It’s a relief.”
She cashed in the last top prize on an ELF scratch-off bought at Lee Grocery on Lafayette Dr. in Sumter.
Odds of winning $30,000 in the Lottery’s holiday ELF game are 1 in 720,000.
Lee Grocery in Sumter received a commission of $300 for selling the claimed ticket.
