COLUMBIA, SC (May 1, 2026) – A Latta player is sticking with the lotto numbers that won her more than $60,000.
She’s played 1-7-2-3 for years and isn’t going to stop now. Not after her combination of family birth dates proved lucky in the midday Pick 4 drawing on April 21.
She played her numbers 16 times to win a total of $60,800.
“It’s the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me,” the winner, who does not wish to be identified, told lottery officials. “I was screaming and hollering.”
She bought her tickets for $1 each at the Quick Stop #102 on S. Richardson St. in Latta. Eight of the tickets were played straight to win $5,000 a piece. The other eight were straight/box plays that won $2,600 each.
The odds of matching all four numbers in the exact order drawn were 1 in 10,000.
The winner is going to pay off her house and car with the prize money. “I’m so happy,” she said.
