COLUMBIA, SC (April 18, 2022) – Spring Break 2022 was a winner for a college student visiting South Carolina.

On the way back to school from Hilton Head Island, the friends stopped at a Corner Pantry store in Florence right off of I-95. The California resident bought a $2 lottery ticket and won $30,000.

“We got back in the car and screamed,” the winner told lottery officials. “It still doesn’t feel real.”

And the winner is putting her prize to a fitting use.

“It’s great that it’s the Education Lottery, because my win is going toward my education,” she said.

The winner beat the 1 in 528,000 odds to win $30,000 in the Wild Win! game. Two more top prizes remain.

Corner Pantry #153 on W. Palmetto St. in Florence received a commission of $300 for selling the claimed ticket.
