COLUMBIA, SC (June 8, 2021) – A Williston lottery player didn’t just double check his winning ticket, he triple checked it to be sure he won $75,000.

“It was almost too good to be true,” the winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.

He says winning on a Bingo Tripler scratch-off was “life changing,” and he immediately reached out to a financial advisor to help him plan for his family’s future.

“I want this win to move my family forward,” the winner said. “This is really exciting.”

Smart Shop in Williston received a commission of $750 for selling the claimed ticket.

The Williston winner won $75,000 in the ($3) Bingo Tripler game at odds of 1 in 528,000. One more top prize remains in the game.
