COLUMBIA, SC (March 5, 2026) – A Bishopville lottery player’s spontaneous ticket purchase surprised him with a $2 million win.
“It was awesome!” he said of the windfall.
The millionaire, who does not wish to be identified, says he’s the same person he was before buying the $20 scratch-off at the B & R Market on E. Church St. in Bishopville.
“I’m still working,” he told lottery officials.
“But it feels good just to have it,” he said.
The winner beat the 1 in 1,480,000 odds in the 200X game. Four more top prizes of $2 million remain in the game.
For selling the claimed ticket, B & R Market in Bishopville received a commission of $20,000.
