COLUMBIA, SC (October 14, 2020) – A North Charleston lottery player wanted to take a closer look at her ticket.

“I got a magnifying glass,” she said.

When $30,000 came into focus she did a double take.

“I almost passed out,” she said.

The winner was at home when she played the SPACE INVADERS™ instant ticket scratch-off game from the South Carolina Education Lottery. She purchased the $2 ticket at Kelly Quick Stop on Rivers Ave. in North Charleston.

While the winner admits she wasn’t familiar with the 1980s SPACE INVADERS™ arcade game that the ticket was based on, the aliens on the ticket caught her eye. Her win leaves three top prizes of $30,000 in the SPACE INVADERS™ instant ticket game at odds of 1 in 432,000.

Kelly Quick Stop in North Charleston received a commission of $300 for selling the claimed ticket.
