COLUMBIA, SC (February 7, 2025) – A Lowcountry lottery winner has made her first big purchase, a new home.

The down payment was possible after she won $500,000 on a scratch-off.

She says her luck changed on a $10 ticket she purchased at the Publix on Folly Rd. in Charleston.

“It was a blessing,” the winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.

Odds of winning $500,000 in the Cash King game are 1 in 1,500,000.  One top prize remains in the game.

The Publix Super Markets Inc. #1645 in Charleston received a commission of $5,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
