COLUMBIA, SC (February 17, 2022) – An Upstate man was eating dinner when he looked up the evening lottery results and saw someone won $300,000. As he reached for the ticket in his pocket he thought, “Wouldn’t it be nice if I had that ticket.” And he did.
“I have the ticket!” he screamed after checking his numbers. “I have the ticket!”
The Palmetto Cash 5 numbers 6, 12, 23, 30 and 33 that he quick picked at the S G Express on Wade Hampton Blvd. in Greenville were a perfect match to the numbers drawn on Friday, February 4.
“I bought the ticket on a total whim,” he admitted.
The winner told lottery officials he was so excited he couldn’t finish his meal. And after cashing in the winning ticket that excitement remains.
“My ultimate goal is to purchase a home,” he said.
For selling the claimed ticket, S G Express in Greenville received a commission of $3,000.
The odds of winning $300,000 playing Palmetto Cash 5 are 1 in 1,405,438.
