COLUMBIA, SC (May 16, 2024) – A Lake City lottery player asked the store clerks to pick him out a winning ticket, and they did. Their choice won him $300,000.
“I was happy,” the winner said.
He told lottery officials that the tickets he’d been choosing weren’t lucky, so he welcomed the help from the staff at the Busy Corner on S. Ron McNair Blvd. in Lake City. He took the $10 ticket home to scratch and was stunned when he saw the dollar sign followed by all the zeros.
“I always hoped I’d win, but I never thought it would happen,” he said. “This is going to better me and my family for years to come.”
Three more top prizes of $300,000 remain in Ultimate Bonus Payout game at odds of 1 in 700,000.
Busy Corner in Lake City received a commission of $3,000 for selling this claimed ticket.
