COLUMBIA, SC (April 17, 2014) – Sister-in-laws Karen Martin and Teri D’angelo play the lottery together and share the winnings.

Saturday the Surfside Beach retirees won and split $500.

Their first splurge will be taking the family out to dinner to celebrate the win.

“I’m haven’t eaten since breakfast,” said Martin.
