COLUMBIA, SC (October 7, 2019) – A Blacksburg man got paid on his day off.

He let his boss know he wouldn’t be coming in to work, because he was going to cash in a $125,000 winning lottery ticket.

“That’s a lot of money for a country boy,” the winner told lottery officials.

He’s planning on driving a new pickup truck to work.

Three top prizes of $125,000 remain in the $5 Green and Gold game, at odds of 1 in 660,000.

For selling the claimed ticket, Get N Go in Blacksburg received a commission of $1,250.
