COLUMBIA, SC (April 9, 2026) – The Lottery caught up with a recent $500,000 winner on his lunch break. We were curious how he was feeling since the big win.
“Life hasn’t changed,” he told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. “I’m still working.”
Well, one thing is different. He is richer after buying a ticket at the Corner Cupboard #4 on 15-401 Bypass in Bennettsville and winning half-a-million dollars.
The winner, who does not wish to be identified, says he has been playing the Lottery for years. Then his luck changed on a $10, 100X scratch-off that surprised him by beating the odds of just over 1 in a million to win $500,000.
“Yeah, it is still exciting to think about,” he admitted, before having to go back to work.
Two more top prizes of $500,000 remain in the 100X game.
And he’s not the only winner. Corner Cupboard #4 in Bennettsville received a commission of $5,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
