COLUMBIA, SC (September 28, 2020) – The number 20 will forever remind a Grand Strand resident of the day he won $125,000 playing the South Carolina Education Lottery.
He matched the number 20 to win a six-figure payday on a Money Mayhem scratch-off he purchased at the Murphy #8663 on S. Hwy. 17 Business in Garden City.
“I had to look at the ticket 15 times to make sure I wasn’t losing my mind,” he told lottery officials.
The winner, who did not wish to be identified, says he took the winning ticket home and showed it to his wife to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.
“I will never look at the number 20 the same way again,” he said.
Two top prizes of $125,000 remain in the ($5) Money Mayhem game at odds of 1 in 660,000.
Murphy #8663 in Garden City received a commission of $1,250 for selling the claimed ticket.
