COLUMBIA, SC (June 2, 2023) – A Grand Strand lottery player says good luck and good timing played a major role in his winning $2 million.
He stopped by the Circle K store located at 501 Hwy. 17 N. in Surfside Beach to play the Lottery. The clerk handed him two $20 tickets, but he only had enough cash to buy one of them. He won $20 on the ticket and used the winning to buy the other ticket that won him $2 million.
“I was in the perfect place at the perfect time,” he said. “I’m so thankful it happened.”
The winner plans to invest his prizemoney.
The winner beat the 1 in 1,245,000 odds to leave five more top prizes of $2 million remaining in the Fastest Road to $2,000,000 game.
For selling the claimed ticket, Circle K 2723482 in Surfside Beach received a commission of $20,000.
