COLUMBIA, SC (June 12, 2025) – After a Grand Strand man finished up grocery shopping at the Food Lion on Dick Pond Rd in Myrtle Beach, he used his leftover change to buy a $3 lottery ticket.
“I was getting ready to throw it in the trash,” he told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. But then he decided to ask the clerk that sold him the ticket to take a second look.
That’s when he found out his scratch-off was worth $75,000.
Since collecting his prizemoney, the winner says he’s helped his family, church and others.
The odds of winning $75,000 playing Loteria are 1 in 660,000. One top prize remains in this game.
Food Lion #289 in Myrtle Beach received a commission of $750 for selling the claimed ticket.
