COLUMBIA, SC (August 8, 2019) – A Boiling Springs man has cashed in a $100,000 prize won in Monday evening’s Palmetto Cash 5 drawing.
Marty Dixon says he didn’t realize he was holding the winning ticket until the next day. He walked into the Kangaroo Express #3411 in Boiling Springs and a group of his friends were gathered around checking their tickets after hearing the store had a winner.
When the group spotted Dixon, they joked that none of them won, so he had to be the winner. And, they were right.
Dixon’s ticket was a perfect match for the numbers drawn on Monday, August 5 (6, 9, 17, 25, and 33).
“You aren’t going to believe this,” Dixon told his sister in a phone call.
She traveled with her brother to Columbia today to turn in the winning ticket. She says her brother sounded in disbelief on the phone, but was also humorous too.
“I told my sister that ‘I’ve got that $20 I owe you,’” he laughed.
Dixon is also paying off his mortgage and making a donation to Mobile Meals of Spartanburg, a charity Dixon has volunteered with for 37 years.
The odds of winning $100,000 playing Palmetto Cash 5 are 1 in 501,942.
For selling the claimed ticket, Kangaroo Express #3411 in Boiling Springs received a commission of $1,000.
