COLUMBIA, SC (April 12, 2022) – An Upstate dad is sharing his $300,000 lottery win with his kids.
“When I told them, they were like ‘What? Are you kidding?’” the father said.
The winner told lottery officials that he wouldn’t have won if it wasn’t for his children. He says he picked the winning ticket from the Number 18 slot in the dispenser at the Rainbow Corner on Rainbow Lake Rd. in Boiling Springs, because 18 is his son’s birthday.
“I scratched the ticket, looked down and thought ‘Whoa,’” he said. “I was amazed.”
He couldn’t wait to tell his children that the prize was theirs.
“And I’m still going to play,” he said after cashing in the winning ticket.
The winner overcame odds of 1 in 900,000 to leave three top prizes of $300,000 in the $300 Grand game.
Rainbow Corner in Boiling Springs received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
