COLUMBIA, SC (September 26, 2025) – A Lowcountry man’s habit of buying a lottery ticket while grocery shopping was rewarded with a $2 million win, and he’s taking it all in stride.
“I didn’t let it shake me up,” he told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.
Maybe that’s because he’s won big before, not millions big, but a nice $10,000 prize over a decade ago. But his recent windfall on a $20 scratch-off from the Harris Teeter on Dorchester Rd. in Summerville is different, it is life changing.
“I’m buying a house,” the winner said. “I’ve been very lucky.”
The winner beat the 1 in 1,080,000 odds in the Double Up! game. Three more top prizes of $2 million remain in the game.
For selling the claimed ticket, Harris Teeter LLC #363 in Summerville received a commission of $20,000.
