COLUMBIA, SC (June 17, 2019) – A Spartanburg man does his own play-by-play while scratching lottery tickets. And a recent scratch-off provided Shawn Cody with his most exciting call yet.

“I’ve got zeros,” he announced. “I know what that means.”

He thought that meant he was about to win $1,000.

“Wait, I’ve got more zeros,” he called out. “We’ve got something good here.”

Then he went silent. The only sound was his pounding heart as he stared down at the $250,000 winning ticket in his hand.

“It’s good!” he said.

Four top prizes of $250,000 remain in the $10 In the Green game, at odds of 1 in 780,000.

For selling the claimed ticket, Scotchman #3804 in Spartanburg received a commission of $2,500.
