COLUMBIA, SC (July 18, 2013) – A Greenville man is recovering from a case of goose bumps.
He caught them from a $200,000 winning lottery ticket at the Quick Trip on Rutherford St.
“I’m in a state of shock,” he told lottery officials. “I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the ticket.”
His mom drove him and the winning South Carolina Gold scratch-off to the Lottery’s Columbia claims office.
He handed the ticket over to lottery staff, and received a check for his winnings.
His goose bumps were cured.
“I feel like I’m in a dream,” he said, rubbing his arm.
As of this release, three top prizes of $200,000 remain in the $10 South Carolina Gold game. The odds of winning the top prize were 1 in 600,000.
For selling the claimed ticket, Quick Trip #1140 in Greenville received a commission of $2,000.
