COLUMBIA, SC (December 7, 2023) – The first thing a Midlands woman did when she won $300,000 playing the South Carolina Education Lottery was reach for the phone.
She called her family and friends, all of them, to tell them the good news.
“It was a shocker,” she said describing the moment she won big on a $10 scratch-off she purchased at the Pitt Stop #2 at 11047 Broad River Rd. in Irmo.
But call after call she kept getting the same response. “They didn’t believe me,” the winner said. Since she’s planning on saving the winnings, maybe they never will.
The win leaves three top prizes of $300,000 in The Rolling Jackpot game at odds of 1 in 1,080,000.
Pitt Stop #2 in Irmo received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
The Rolling Jackpot scratch-offs can be entered into a second-chance drawing for a chance to win a rolling cash jackpot. Visit the Players’ Club Rewards site at sceducationlottery.com to learn more.
