COLUMBIA, SC (March 10, 2022) – The Lottery caught up with a recent $300,000 winner at work.

“I can work a little easier, but it’s not going to stop me from working,” he told lottery officials.

The winner was actually at work when he scratched the winning ticket he bought at the Cruizers XIII on N. Cashua Dr. in Florence. He says he paused for a minute to take in the win, and then kept right on working.

“It was a huge relief,” he said. “I’m going to enjoy it and hopefully retire eventually.”

The winner overcame odds of 1 in 900,000 to claim the last top prize of $300,000 in the $300,000 Money Match game.

Cruizers XIII in Florence received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
