COLUMBIA, SC (August 3, 2023) – A Midlands man says it was a typical day until he bought a lottery ticket and won $200,000.

“It was life changing,” he said. 

It was a warm day when he decided to stop by the Community Mart at 4101 Monticello Rd. in Columbia for a drink.  He was walking out the door, when he decided to turn around and spend his spare change on a $5 lottery ticket. When he saw the $200,000 prize on the ticket, he put his glasses on to be sure.

“I had no clue I was going to win,” he said. “You never think it’s going to be you.”

The winner overcame odds of 1 in 750,000 to leave three top prizes of $200,000 in the Money Multiplier game.

Community Mart in Columbia received a commission of $2,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
