COLUMBIA, SC (April 26, 2021) – A Denmark lottery player has a surprise for his wife.
He didn’t tell his wife he won $300,000 playing the South Carolina Education Lottery, deciding instead to wait and surprise her by including a copy of the prize check inside her birthday card.
“She can buy whatever she wants,” he told lottery officials while waiting at the Columbia Claims Center.
The winner, who does not wish to be identified, purchased the winning ticket for $10 at the Enmarket #872 at 4995 Carolina Hwy. in Denmark.
The Denmark player overcame odds of 1 in 900,000 to leave four top prizes of $300,000 remaining in the $10 Lucky Loot game.
Enmarket #872 in Denmark received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
