COLUMBIA, SC (February 13, 2025) – After scratching a few losing lottery tickets, a Lowcountry man says something told him to buy two more tickets. One of the two won him $100,000.
“I must have checked it 20 times,” he told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. “It was amazing.”
The winner bought the Lady Jumbo Bucks Crossword ticket at King St. Exxon on King St. in Charleston. He says the crossword style tickets are his favorite, and he’s going to keep playing them.
“I’m enjoying life,” he said.
Three top prizes of $100,000 remain in the $3 Lady Jumbo Bucks Crossword game at odds of 1 in 600,000.
For selling the claimed ticket, King St. Exxon in Charleston received a commission of $1,000.
