COLUMBIA, SC (October 12, 2021) – A Lowcountry lottery player was hanging out with friends when she scratched a ticket and won $200,000.

Her friends went crazy. She watched as her boyfriend feel to his knees in praise and her best friend was jumping up and down screaming.

“It was wild!” the winner said. “I stayed calm, probably because I was in shock.”

She never expected a ticket that she paid $5 for at the President Market at 208 President St. in Charleston would win her enough to buy a new car and a down payment on a house.

“It’s life changing,” she said.

As of this release, three top prizes of $200,000 remain in the ($5) Triple Red 777s game, at odds of 1 in 750,000.

For selling the claimed ticket, President Market in Charleston received a commission of $2,000.
