COLUMBIA, SC (February 16, 2023) – A lottery ticket had an Upstate man reaching for his glasses.
He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. A $10 scratch-off he’d purchased from the Tobacco Land Store on Old Buncombe Rd. in Greenville won him $300,000.
“I was in a fog for a couple of days,” the winner admitted to lottery officials.
He says he looked at the ticket many, many times before finally going to get his glasses and a bright light to get a better look. It wasn’t until he cashed in the ticket that he believed he beat the 1 in 900,000 odds to win the last top prize of $300,000 in the Red Cherry Tripler game.
Tobacco Land Store in Greenville received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
