COLUMBIA, SC (February 14, 2022) – Trying something new paid off for an Upstate lottery player. Instead of buying his usual Pick 3 ticket, he took a chance on a scratch-off and won $30,000.
“I was pleasantly surprised,” the winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.
He says he’s played Pick 3 for years, only winning small amounts, so he decided to make a change. He picked out a $2 Lucky No 7 Doubler scratch-off from the Country Food Mart #2 on the Walhalla Hwy. in Pickens and won the ticket’s top prize.
“I’m saving it for a rainy day,” he said.
The Pickens player beat the 1 in 528,000 odds to win $30,000 in the $2 Lucky No. 7 Doubler game. Two more top prizes remain.
Country Food Mart #2 in Pickens received a commission of $300 for selling the claimed ticket.
