COLUMBIA, SC (August 26, 2022) – While visiting friends in the Upstate an Atlanta, GA, man played the South Carolina Education Lottery and won $300,000.
His lucky break came when he stopped for a bottle of water and a $10 lottery ticket at the Lil Cricket #3824 on the Chesnee Hwy. in Spartanburg. He scratched the ticket in the store’s parking lot.
“I freaked out,” he said when he saw he won big. “I ran back in the store and gave the clerk a hug.”
Back home in Georgia, he’s already made his first purchase, a new car he’ll be driving on his next trip to South Carolina.
“I’m extremely happy,” he said. “I’ll definitely visit South Carolina more.”
The winner overcame odds of 1 in 1,000,000 to leave two top prizes of $300,000 remaining in the Retro Riches ticket.
Lil Cricket #3824 in Spartanburg received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
