COLUMBIA, SC (March 27, 2025) – A grocery shopper at a Hardeeville Publix bagged a $200,000 lottery win.
The winner says she ran into the store on Nickel Plate Rd. to pick up a few items and to get a $5 lottery ticket. She took the ticket home to scratch and couldn’t believe her good luck.
“I didn’t know whether I should shout, scream or cry,” the winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.
She is sharing her good fortune with her family.
The odds of winning $200,000 in the The Big $pin game are 1 in 900,000. Two more top prizes remain in the game.
For selling the claimed ticket, Publix Super Market #1354 in Hardeeville received a commission of $2,000.
