COLUMBIA, SC (May 3, 2024) – A Pee Dee man was getting his caffeine fix when he bought a lottery ticket and won $300,000.

He told lottery officials that he dropped in at the Cruizers on Hwy. 76 in Marion for an energy drink and left with a lottery ticket that gave him quite a lift.

“Something told me to play that ticket,” the winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials after cashing in the top prize win.

He says he can take care of a few things for himself and help others with the prize.

“It’s a miracle,” he said.

Three more top prizes of $300,000 remain in Cash Payout game at odds of 1 in 984,000.
