COLUMBIA, SC (March 2, 2020) – Remember when you were a kid and that feeling you got on Christmas morning. A Loris man says he got to relive that feeling as a adult when he won the Lottery.

“It was exciting,” he said of winning $200,000. “I didn’t know how to act.”

He still hasn’t told his wife that he matched all five Palmetto Cash 5 numbers drawn on Saturday, January 25 (3, 11, 19, 27, and 35).

“She’ll probably find out,” he joked.

Because he spent the extra $1 for Power-Up, his $100,000 winnings were doubled to $200,000 when a “2” multiplier was selected.

The odds of winning $200,000 playing Palmetto Cash 5 are 1 in 1,003,884.

For selling the claimed ticket, Punit Disha LLC in Longs received a commission of $2,000.

The South Carolina Education Lottery is on a quest to uncover “tiny” lottery winners. Share your Tiny Story of winning maybe $25, $500, $1,000 or more with us at TellYourTinyStory.com.
