COLUMBIA, SC (January 27, 2026) – The Lottery recently caught up with an Anderson woman, who won $30,000 on the $2 ELF scratch-off.
“I couldn’t believe my eyes,” the winner told lottery officials when her ticket revealed the game’s $30,000 top prize.
She picked out the lucky ticket at the Swami Foods on Bleckley St. in Anderson on her way to the mall. She says she bought five of the $2 tickets and waited until the next day to scratch them.
“It was good timing,” she said of the win right before Christmas.
She’s since gifted herself new furniture and tires for her car.
One more top prize of $30,000 remains in the ELF game at odds of 1 in 720,000.
Swami Foods in Anderson received a commission of $300 for selling the claimed
ticket.
