COLUMBIA, SC (May 28, 2021) – A Lugoff lottery player’s hands were shaking with excitement as she read and reread the directions on her scratch-off ticket.

“I hope I’m reading this right,” she said to herself.

The instructions said to “Reveal a “MONEYBAG” symbol, win the prize shown for that symbol.” She did just that to win a $300,000 top prize.

The winning Money Maker ticket was purchased for $10 from the Lucky #7 convenience store at 1053 Hwy. 1 S. in Lugoff.

The thrill of the win hasn’t faded yet.

“My hands are still shaking,” the winner told lottery officials when she cashed in her prize. “I’m going to help my family.”

The Lugoff player overcame odds of 1 in 780,000 to leave three top prizes of $300,000 remaining in the $10 Money Maker game.

Lucky #7 in Lugoff received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
