COLUMBIA, SC (February 18, 2021) – A Moncks Corner man took a second look at his lottery ticket and it paid off.
He thought he won $125 on a scratch-off but looked again and saw $125,000.
“I scratched the ticket in my car and laid it in the seat next to me,” he described. “I picked it back up, scratched it some more and saw the zeroes.”
He told South Carolina Education Lottery officials that he took a deep breath, started his car and drove from the Everyday Spot on S. Hwy. 52 in Moncks Corner to the Lottery’s Claims Center in Columbia to cash in the winning ticket.
“I’ve dreamed about this happening,” he said. “It was shocking and exciting.”
The Lowcountry player overcame odds of 1 in 660,000 to win $125,000 in the ($5) Jackpot Cash game. One top prize remains in the game.
Everyday Spot in Moncks Corner received a commission of $1,250 for selling the claimed ticket.
