COLUMBIA, SC (November 6, 2025) A Grand Stand man was grabbing a cup of coffee when he decided to buy a lottery ticket that surprised him with a $1 million win.

“I’ve never won more than $100,” he told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. “I’m not sure I believe it yet, because those things happen to somebody else.”

But after decades of playing the Lottery, a ticket bought at the 7 Eleven on Sapwood Rd. in Myrtle Beach made him a millionaire.

“I’m not going to let it change me one bit,” he said.

Odds of winning $1 million in the Million Dollar Mania game are 1 in 1,530,000. One more $1 million prize remains in the game.

7 Eleven #42241A in Myrtle Beach received a commission of $10,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
