COLUMBIA, SC (July 11, 2025) – A Lowcountry lottery player is keeping a secret.
She isn’t telling anyone that she won $75,000 on a scratch-off at a convenience store in Saint George.
“I was in disbelief and shock,” the winner, who does not wish to be identified, told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.
To be sure she really won, she says she downloaded the Lottery’s app to check the ticket she bought at the Sunrise Food Mart on Motel Dr. Next, she scanned it at a lottery retailer to be doubly sure. Both confirmed the $3 crossword-style scratch-off was a top prize winner.
As for her plans, she is going to save the prize money.
The odds of winning $75,000 playing Cosmic Crossword are 1 in 440,000. This game is no longer available for sale.
Sunrise Food Mart #208 in Saint George received a commission of $750 for selling the claimed ticket.
