COLUMBIA, SC (June 3, 2021) – In a reversal of fortune, a Columbia lottery player’s losing scratch-off won her $200,000.
“I felt weak in the knees,” she said when the South Carolina Education Lottery called to say her non-winning ticket was selected from the nearly 300,000 tickets entered to win $200,000 in the $200K Cash Second-Chance Promotion.
The winner is an essential worker. She has worked throughout the pandemic, and says to relax after dinner will scratch lottery tickets for fun with her husband. Any non-winning tickets eligible for a second-chance drawing, she enters online through the Lottery’s Players’ Club at sceducationlottery.com.
She called her husband immediately to tell them they’d won a lottery drawing.
“I was at work when I found out,” she said. “He was at home when I told him, and we were both anxious and nervous waiting until I could come home.”
As for their plans, the couple wants to buy a home with the lottery prize as their down payment.
“I keep checking my account to make sure it really happened,” the winner said. “It’s amazing.”
On Thursday, June 10, the Lottery will announce another second-chance drawing winner. This time, someone is going to win $1 MILLION in the Double Your Million! Second-Chance promotion. If the winning entry contains a 2X multiplier, the prize doubles to $2 MILLION! To learn more about the Lottery’s second-chance promotions, join our Players’ Club at sceducationlottery.com.
