COLUMBIA, SC (October 17, 2024) – An Upstate woman was going to buy both a Carolina Jackpot and a Clemson Jackpot scratch-off at the Walmart Market on Hwy. 14 in Simpsonville. But when she only got back enough change to buy one of them, she says the choice was easy.
“I’m a Carolina fan for life,” she said.
She scratched the $5 Carolina Jackpot ticket and celebrated a $200,000 win.
“I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “It means even more to be a Carolina fan now.”
The winner is going to pay off her house and help others with her prize money.
The odds of winning $200,000 in the Carolina Jackpot game are 1 in 520,000. Two more top prizes remain in the game.
For selling the claimed ticket, Walmart Market #3628 in Simpsonville received a commission of $2,000.
