COLUMBIA, SC (March 12, 2021) – A Georgetown man teared up when he learned he was a millionaire.
The South Carolina Education Lottery called him with news that a non-winning lottery ticket he’d entered into the Million Dollar Mega Multiplier Second-Chance Drawing was picked to win $1 MILLION.
“It made me cry tears of joy,” he said.
He hung up the phone and called his wife at work. Shocked, he says she wanted to leave work and come home, but he encouraged her to stay.
“I went to work,” he told lottery officials after finding out. “I couldn’t even function. It was a feeling that I’d never felt before.”
The millionaire, who asked not to be identified, says he’s definitely smiling more since.
“I’m enjoying life,” he said.
