6/4/2015 2:03:47 PM

COLUMBIA, SC (June 4, 2015) – A Greenville woman who won $100,000 playing the South Carolina Education Lottery last week is taking her husband to look at new cars today.

“He didn’t believe me when I told him I won,” the wife said.

But he came around when she started paying off their bills with her winnings from a lottery ticket purchased at the VGO Mart 2 on Augusta Rd. in Greenville.

“I went in the store for a soda,” she explained, when a $5 Pay Me! ticket caught her eye.

She scratched off the $100,000 prize sitting alone in her decade old car outside the convenience store.

“I’m at ease now,” she said excited about her test drive.

Three top prizes of $100,000 remain in the Pay Me! game. Odds of winning $100,000 are 1 in 480,000.

For selling the claimed ticket, VGO Mart 2 in Greenville received a commission of $1,000.
