COLUMBIA, SC (August 10, 2022) – When an Upstate woman won $200,000 playing the South Carolina Education Lottery, she couldn’t contain her excitement.

“I screamed,” she said.

She was alone in her car parked outside the Stop-A-Minit #27 on Augusta Rd. in Pelzer when she scratched off the top prize win on a Carolina Gold 50X ticket. She couldn’t believe her good fortune.

“It was a happy feeling,” she said. “And it really came in handy.”

The winner overcame odds of 1 in 750,000 to leave one top prize remaining in the Carolina Gold 50X game.

Stop-A-Minit #27 in Pelzer received a commission of $2,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
