COLUMBIA, SC (May 9, 2024) – A Bishopville lottery player is taking some time off to travel after winning $300,000.
“Luck was on my side,” the winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. “I’m going to enjoy it.”
He says he took the $10 X The Money ticket home from the One Stop Shop on the Sumter Hwy. in Bishopville to scratch. He couldn’t contain his emotions when he realized a six-figure payday was his.
“I was jumping up and down,” he said. “It’s a lot of excitement.”
And he says he plans to keep playing. “I’m not done yet,” he said.
One more top prize of $300,000 remains in X The Money game at odds of 1 in 840,000.
One Stop Shop in Bishopville received a commission of $3,000 for selling this claimed ticket. But that’s not the only big win at the store this month. Another player won $10,000 on a scratch-off.
