COLUMBIA, SC (February 16, 2021) – An Upstate lottery winner feels blessed.

“I was in the right place at the right time,” the winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials, when he purchased a Jumbo Bucks ticket for $2 at the Sunoco on E. North St. at 291 in Greenville.

He scratched the ticket and won $50,000.

The winner, who did not wish to be identified, says it’s good to have extra money but even better when you can share it.

“I helped my church,” he said.

Two top prizes of $50,000 remain in the Jumbo Bucks instant ticket game at odds of 1 in 600,000.

Sunoco in Greenville received a commission of $500 for selling the claimed ticket.
