COLUMBIA, SC (August 7, 2023) – For two years, an Upstate man has started his day with a cup of coffee and a lottery ticket. His routine has paid off with a $300,000 win.

“When I saw it, my brain thought I was misreading it,” the winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. “You hope to win, but don’t expect it.”

He picked out the lucky ticket at the KC Mart #8 on Hwy. 9 in Boiling Springs. And he won’t be changing his morning routine anytime soon.

“I’m going to stick to it, because I don’t spend too much and it’s something I enjoy,” he said.

Two top prizes of $300,000 remain in the 100X game at odds of 1 in 1,000,000.

KC Mart #8 in Boiling Springs received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
