COLUMBIA, SC (October 15, 2021) – A North Augusta woman left the grocery store with ingredients to make hash and a lottery ticket that was worth some real cash.
While the pot was heating on the stove she scratched the ticket and won $300,000.
“I thought it was $300 at first,” she told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. “I scratched a little more and realized I was going to have to go to Columbia.”
The winner says she didn’t sleep well that night, but she certainly ate well.
“The hash tasted a whole lot better,” she said.
The groceries and winning ticket were purchased at the Food Lion #2666 at 135 Market Plaza Dr. in North Augusta. The store will receive a $3,000 commission for selling the claimed ticket.
The North Augusta player claimed the last top prize of $300,000 in the ($10) Xtreme Purple Multiplier game at odds of 1 in 900,000.
