COLUMBIA, SC (June 22, 2023) – A Georgetown man almost threw away $30,000.
The relieved winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials that he was cleaning out his car when he came across what he thought was a losing lottery ticket. Before tossing the $2 scratch-off in the trash, he gave it another looked and realized his mistake. The ticket was a big, top prize winner.
“It took my breath away,” he said. “Good thing I double checked it.”
The winner says he’s going to celebrate his good luck and new found fortune with his kids.
The Georgetown winner left one top prize of $30,000 in the Cash Club game at odds of 1 in 640,000.
Frankie Snacks in Georgetown received a commission of $300 for selling the claimed ticket.
