COLUMBIA, SC (October 6, 2021) – Pizza’s good anytime, except for maybe after winning the lottery.

A Clover lottery player ordered a pizza and while he was waiting on it scratched a ticket and won some dough, $300,000 to be exact. When his pizza was ready, he wasn’t hungry anymore.

“I couldn’t eat pizza after that,” he said.

The winner, who does not wish to be identified, told South Carolina Education Lottery officials that the first number he scratched off the Xtreme Purple Multiplier ticket he purchased for $10 at the South Main Mustang on S. Main St. in Clover won him the six-figure payday.

And the next pizza he orders, it will be delivered to his new house.

The South Main Mustang at 418 S. Main St. in Clover received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket.

The Clover player claimed the last top prize of $300,000 in the $10 Xtreme Purple Multiplier game at odds of 1 in 900,000.
