COLUMBIA, SC (October 1, 2026) – A Midlands man has won $200,000 playing THE PRICE IS RIGHTTM scratch-off game.
Lottery officials had to ask if he was a fan of the popular game show.
“Yes,” he said. “I used to watch the show on television when Bob Barker hosted it.”
The winner picked out THE PRICE IS RIGHTTM ticket at the H & E Mart on N. Beltline Blvd. in Columbia. He says he was surprised when he scratched the ticket and won a six-figure top prize.
He did not share his plans for the windfall, only saying “I can tell you I feel more secure.”
The odds of winning $200,000 in the $5 THE PRICE IS RIGHTTM game are 1 in 810,000. Two more top prizes remain in the game.
For selling the claimed ticket, H & E Mart LLC in Columbia received a commission of $2,000.
