COLUMBIA, SC (July 28, 2009) – Thomas Williams spent a long, anxious weekend holding a lottery ticket worth $200,000! The Greenville resident had to wait until Monday for the Claims Center to open before he could cash in his winning Mega Jumbo Bucks ticket.
“I was so excited all weekend,” Williams said. The 51-year-old winner could not help smiling when he finally had the check in his hands. He plans to share his prize with his family and put some aside for savings.
Williams purchased his ticket at Kangaroo Express #3287, located at 1609 W. Blue Ridge Drive in Greenville. A lottery retailer that sells a claimed ticket of $10,000 or more receives a 1 percent selling bonus. Kangaroo Express #3287 earned a $2,000 bonus.
