COLUMBIA, SC (March 1, 2023) – A store clerk at a Walterboro convenience store has a golden touch. The clerk picked out a $100,000 winning lottery ticket for a customer. The customer is buying a new home with the windfall.
The player at the I95 and 64 Shell on Bells Hwy. had an extra $5 and asked the clerk to print her a lottery ticket. The Palmetto Cash 5 ticket the clerk decided on won the customer the game’s top prize.
“It was wonderful,” the winner said.
The Palmetto Cash 5 ticket for the drawing on February 1 (1, 2, 7, 14, and 26) matched all five numbers drawn to win $100,000 at odds of 1 in 501,942.
For selling the claimed ticket, I95 and 64 Shell in Walterboro received a commission of $1,000.
