COLUMBIA, SC (September 28, 2020) – After cashing in lottery ticket worth $250,000, a Little River resident cried.
The winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials that it wasn’t real until she received her prize money.
“It couldn’t have happened at a more perfect time,” she shared.
She credits her mom with her decision to take a chance on a Color of Money scratch-off ticket at the Tiger Mart #17 on Hwy. 57 S. in Little River. She says her mother had played that same ticket, because she thought it was pretty.
“I’m going to pay it forward,” she said.
The Little River player overcame odds of 1 in 675,000 to win $250,000 in the ($10) Color of Money game. One top prize remains in the game.
Tiger Mart #17 in Little River received a commission of $2,500 for selling the claimed ticket.
