COLUMBIA, SC (May 27, 2022) – A Columbia man was on the phone with his daughter when he scratched a lottery ticket and won $30,000.

“Hold on,” he told her.

He texted her a picture of the ticket, so she could see what he was seeing.

“Daddy, you won $30,000!” she screamed.

The winner says he was in a state of disbelief when the ticket he bought for $2 at the Food Lion on Garners Ferry Rd. in Columbia was a winner.

“It was a great moment,” he said a few days after cashing in his prize. “I’m tickled to death.”

The Columbia winner left one top prize of $30,000 in the Electric Cash game at odds of 1 in 480,000.

Food Lion #2863 in Columbia received a commission of $300 for selling the claimed ticket.
